Electrolysis decomposition

Electrolysis. Decomposition of a compound that is ionizable using electric current so that the positive ions go to the negative anode, and negative ions go to the positive cathode. 

Electrolysis. Decomposition of a compd (liquid, molten or in solution) by an electric current, which results in the local and spacial separation of the ions of an electrolyte (qv)...

Uranium can be prepared by reducing uranium halides with alkali or alkaline earth metals or by reducing uranium oxides by calcium, aluminum, or carbon at high temperatures. The metal can also be produced by electrolysis of KUF5 or UF4, dissolved in a molten mixture of CaCl2 and NaCl. High-purity uranium can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of uranium halides on a hot filament. 

Cell Volta.ge a.ndIts Components. The minimum voltage required for electrolysis to begin for a given set of cell conditions, such as an operational temperature of 95°C, is the sum of the cathodic and anodic reversible potentials and is known as the thermodynamic decomposition voltage, is related to the standard free energy change, AG°C, for the overall chemical reaction,... 

Hydrogen atoms can also be formed on catalytic surfaces, during electrolysis and upon decomposition of hydrocarbon radicals. 

Sir Humphry Davy first isolated metallic sodium ia 1807 by the electrolytic decomposition of sodium hydroxide. Later, the metal was produced experimentally by thermal reduction of the hydroxide with iron. In 1855, commercial production was started usiag the DeviUe process, ia which sodium carbonate was reduced with carbon at 1100°C. In 1886 a process for the thermal reduction of sodium hydroxide with carbon was developed. Later sodium was made on a commercial scale by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide (1,2). The process for the electrolytic decomposition of fused sodium chloride, patented ia 1924 (2,3), has been the preferred process siace iastallation of the first electrolysis cells at Niagara Falls ia 1925. Sodium chloride decomposition is widely used throughout the world (see Sodium compounds). 

Degradatiou. Heating of succinic acid or anhydride yields y-ketopimehc ddactone, cyclohexane-1,4-dione, and a mixture of decomposition products that include acetic acid, propionic acid, acryUc acid, acetaldeide, acrolein, oxaUc acid, cyclopentanone, and furane. In argon atmosphere, thermal degradation of succinic anhydride takes place at 340°C (123). Electrolysis of succinic acid produces ethylene and acetylene. 

The cell is the basis of all electrolysis. The anode admits current into the electrolyte and the cathode serves as a means of exit for the electrical current. The electrical flow provides a definition for electrolysis the flow of current from the anode through the electrolyte and out of the cell through the cathode with ensuing decomposition of the electrolyte, with products being formed at the electrodes. 

The final solution should be checked for absence of free cyanide. The hypochlorite or CI2 + NaOH method is by far the most widely used commercially (45). However, other methods are oxidation to cyanate using hydrogen peroxide, o2one, permanganate, or chlorite electrolysis to CO2, NH, and cyanate hydrolysis at elevated temperatures to NH and salts of formic acid air or steam stripping at low pH biological decomposition to CO2 and N2 chromium... 

Electric current passing through a metal joint having a moisture content causes electrolysis of water vapour. Copper, being a galvanic metal, forms an electrolytic circuit with other metals and decomposes the joint. Decomposition is corroding and erodes the aluminium metal. 

Phenyl radicals can be generated by the thermal decomposition of lead tctrabcnzoate, phenyl iodosobenzoate, and diphenyliodonium hydroxide,- - and by the electrolysis of benzoic acid.- These methods have been employed in the arylation of aromatic compounds, including heterocycles. A method of promise which has not been applied to the arylation of heterocycles is the formation of aryl radicals by the photolysis of aromatic iodides at 2537... 

Electrolysis, and thermochemical and photochemical decomposition of water followed by purification through diffusion methods are expensive processes to produce hydrogen. 

Platinum Platinum-coated titanium is the most important anode material for impressed-current cathodic protection in seawater. In electrolysis cells, platinum is attacked if the current waveform varies, if oxygen and chlorine are evolved simultaneously, or if some organic substances are present Nevertheless, platinised titanium is employed in tinplate production in Japan s. Although ruthenium dioxide is the most usual coating for dimensionally stable anodes, platinum/iridium, also deposited by thermal decomposition of a metallo-organic paint, is used in sodium chlorate manufacture. Platinum/ruthenium, applied by an immersion process, is recommended for the cathodes of membrane electrolysis cells. ... 

The largest uses of platinum group metals in electronics are ruthenium for resistors and palladium for multilayer capacitors, both applied by thick film techniques . Most anodes for brine electrolysis are coated with mixed ruthenium and titanium oxide by thermal decomposition . Chemical vapour deposition of ruthenium was patented for use on cutting tools .
