Oxygen evolution kinetics was studied at 70 degrees C at RuO/sub 2/ and titaniumruthenium oxide anodes in chlorinated chloride solutions (1 M NaCl, pH 1.4 to 2.25) by recording polarization curves. The reaction orders were determined. The kinetics of anodic oxygen evolution is important for an understanding of electrode behavior and for an estimate of possible current yields of oxygen under the different conditions of electrolysis of NaCl solutions. The results obtained demonstrate that substantial oxygen evolution can occur in chlorinated chloride solutions at active electrodes because of the coupled reaction of chlorine reduction.
