ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for producing oxygen and hydrogen bromide in an electrolytic cell utilizing, as the cathode, a consumable bromine electrode comprising bromide ions dissolved in a pool of liquid bromine surrounding a metal electrode. The electrolytic cell also contains a water solution of an electrolyte on both sides of a hydrogen ion permeable membrane forming a two-compartment electrolytic cell. In operation of the preferred process, hydrogen bromide gas is given off in the cathode compartment and oxygen gas is given off in the anode compartment.
