Use of an anode having an electroconductive diamond structure for producing acidic water containing dissolved hydrogen peroxide

摘要

A process for producing hydrogen peroxide which comprises electrolyzing water in an electrolytic cell 1 partitioned with at least one ion-exchange membrane 2 into an anode chamber 3 including an anode 5 containing an electrode material having an electroconductive diamond structure and a cathode chamber 4, to thereby produce oxygen, ozone and hydrogen peroxide in the anode chamber. Also disclosed is an electrolytic cell for hydrogen peroxide production partitioned with at least one ion-exchange membrane into an anode chamber including an anode and a cathode chamber, or into an anode chamber including an anode, an intermediate chamber and a cathode chamber. The anode contains an electrode material having an electroconductive diamond structure.
