摘要:
A gas diffusion electrode is constituted by forming a porous layer comprising a super-fine particle catalyst of silver or gold and a fluorine-containing material on a substrate and connecting a gas-liquid permeable collector to the substrate. The gas diffusion electrode can be used stably as an oxygen cathode for a sodium chloride electrolysis, etc., for a long period of time without causing decreased water repellency of the fluorine-containing material in the gas diffusion electrode and without lowering the activity of the electrode substance.

A salt water electrolysis process for electrolyzing an aqueous alkali chloride solution capable of preventing the deterioration of a gas diffusion cathode is disclosed. A cation-exchange membrane having closely disposed to one surface thereof an insoluble metal anode and having closely adhered or mechanically attached to the opposite surface thereof a liquid permeable gas diffusion cathode is disposed in an electrolytic cell, and electrolysis is carried out while supplying salt water to the anode chamber and an oxygen-containing gas containing water as steam or fine water droplets to the cathode chamber, and an alkali hydroxide is obtained from the cathode chamber. The water-containing gas directly reaches the gas diffusion cathode and since the alkali hydroxide and the alkali carbonate formed at the surface of the cathode are dissolved in the water in the gas and removed from the electrolytic cell, deterioration of the gas diffusion cathode can be prevented.
