Abstract

Chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in water is produced by passing a solution of stabilized chlorine dioxide or a sodium chlorite solution, with or without added sodium chloride, through an electrolytic cell having an anode and cathode, in the absence of a semi-permeable membrane but in the presence of a buffer, an anolyte with a pH below 10 is produced so that disproportination of the ClO2 is not appreciable.
