Abstract
| - The electrochemical preparation of barium perchlorate, Ba(ClO4)2, from barium chlorate employing a platinumanode and a rotating stainless steel cathode is described. The effect of electrolyte concentration, cathode andanode current densities, pH and temperature of the electrolyte, and cathode rotation on current efficiency forthe preparation of barium perchlorate was studied. A maximum current efficiency of 40% was achievedcorresponding to an energy consumption of 5.5 kW·h·kg-1.
