The authors studied the influence of specific factors in chlorate electrilysis on the corrosion behavior of ROTA. The technique used in the investigation was based on neutron activation of the test specimens followed by corrosion tests. Figures show the dependence rate of ruthenium dissolution on the sodium chloride production during production of chlorate by electrolysis with ROTA, and dependence of the rate of ruthenium dissolution and of the rate of oxygen evolution during polarization of ROTA. Over the entire range of ROTA potentials studied the process of oxygen evolution conforms to the Tafel relationship. The rate of ruthenium dissolution in chlorate solution rises by more than 4 orders of magnitude with increase of the ROTA potential.
