Abstract
In this chapter, the electrolytic preparation of inorganic compounds other than chlorine, alkalis and metals will be discussed. The processes are, in general, low tonnage but have an established position in industrial practice. The compounds prepared by electrolytic processes are the strong oxidizing agents, e.g. KMnO4, K2Cr2O7, Na2S2O8 and F2, metal oxides which are particularly active when prepared anodically, e.g. MnO2 and Cu2O, and hydrogen and/or oxygen by water electrolysis.
