Calcium metal was produced in 1855 by electrolysis of a mixture of calcium, strontium, and ammonium chlorides, but the product was highly contaminated with chlorides (1). By 1904 fairly large quantities of calcium were obtained by the electrolysis of molten calcium chloride held at a temperature above the melting point of the salt but below the melting point of calcium metal. An iron cathode just touched the surface of the bath and was raised slowly as the relatively chloride-free calcium solidified on the end. This process became the basis for commercial production of calcium metal until World War II. 

Electrolysis cyclic voltammetry molten salts carbamide potassium chloride ammonium chloride compound adsorbtion. 

In an individual molten carbamide, the electrode processes are feebly marked at melt decomposition potentials because of its low electrical conductivity. Both electrode processes are accompanied by gas evolution (NH3, CO, C02, N2) and NH2CN (approximately) is formed in melt. In eutectic carbamide-chloride melts electrode processes take place mainly independently of each other. The chlorine must evolve at the anode during the electrolysis of carbamide - alkali metal and ammonium chloride melts, which were revealed in the electrolysis of the carbamide-KCl melt. But in the case of simultaneous oxidation of carbamide and NH4CI, however, a new compound containing N-Cl bond has been found in anode gases instead of chlorine. It is difficult to fully identify this compound by the experimental methods employed in the present work, but it can be definitely stated that... 

Another method of preparation involves electrolysis of an aqueous solution of hydrogen cyanide and ammonium chloride. 

Two other methods for preparing silane are treating sihca gel with aluminum oxide in presence of hydrogen and by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium or ammonium chloride using a sdicon-aluminum ahoy as the positive electrode. 

R. Ehrenfeld found that the carbamate in commercial ammonium chloride is not reduced by hydrogen at the cathode during electrolysis. If the current be rapidly reversed during the electrolysis of soln. of commercial carbonate (containing carbamate), with platinum electrodes, E. Drechsel found after 8 hrs. a salt of a platinum base is contained in the soln. There is also formed in the first or oxidation state NH40.C0.NH2+0=H20+C02(NH2)2 and this undergoes a further... 

Bcla-pheiiylhydroxylaminc is formed by reduction of nitrobenzene 111 by zinc and calcium chloride or ammonium chloride solution. i2l by electrolysis in acetic acid plus sodium acetate solution. 

Contact above 0°C of excess chlorine or a chlorinating agent with aqueous ammonia, ammonium salts or a compound containing a hydrolysable amino-derivative, or electrolysis of ammonium chloride solution produces the highly endothermic (AHf (g) +230.1 kJ/mol, 1.91 kJ/g) and explosive nitrogen trichloride as a water-insoluble yellow oil [1,2,3]. Detonation at constant volume generates 5,500 Bar maximum pressure and 2,100°C maximum temperature. As a vapour it decomposes explosively at pressures as low as 1 mBar and may sensitise flammable gas mixtures even as a... 

After the electrolysis has been finished, solid sodium perchlorate may be separated from the solution, but usually other salts of perchloric acid are the final products, which are more suitable for commercial use. Potassium perchlorate is prepared by double decomposition of sodium perchlorate solution with potassium ehloride. If ammonium chloride or sulphate is used for the conversion, ammonium perchlorate will be obtained. Similarly, a mutual reaction with barium chloride will result in barium perchlorate.

The method most generally applied to the isolation of lithium is based on the decomposition of the fused chloride by electrolysis, modifications in practical details having been introduced by various experimenters. Bunsen and Matthiessen1 passed the current from six Bunsen cells through the fused chloride contained in a porcelain crucible, with a carbon rod as anode and an iron wire as cathode. Troost employed a similar method. Guntz2 mixed lithium chloride with potassium chloride, but his product contained 1-3 per cent, of potassium. His current was 10 amperes at 20 volts, with a cathode of iron wire 3-4 mm. in diameter. Borchers3 added chlorides of other alkali-metals and alkaline-earth-metals and a small proportion of ammonium chloride, and employed a current density of 10 amperes per 100 sq. cm. Tucker 4 electrolyzed the chloride without the addition of other material. 

Preparation.—Being very sensitive to rise of temperature, the isolation of the ammonium radical by the electrolysis of solutions of ammonium salts in liquid ammonia is probably precluded by the thermal effect of the current. Its formation by the interaction of well-cooled ammonium chloride and a solution of potassium in liquid ammonia at —70° C. is indicated by a deficit of as much as 65 per cent, in the volume of the hydrogen evolved.1... 

Hicks and O Shea4 recommend the electrolysis of a 5 per cent, solution of ferrous chloride to which ammonium chloride has been added in sufficient quantity to establish the ratio... 

By electrolysis of a solution of molybdie anhydride in hydrobromic acid, using a mercury cathode, a purplish-red solution is obtained, which, on addition of ammonium chloride and subsequent evaporation, deposits deep blood-red crystals of the double bromide (N H4)2MoBr5.2H20.
