Chlorate Cell (Swede)

[Peter8]

Hi,

 

I want to make my own high quality potassium chlorate. So, I want to construct a chlorate cell.

 

I own the following items:

 

1.) Power Supply / Mean Well HRP-600-5 / 5.0V @ 120.00A = http://www.powergate...wer-supply.html

 

2.) MMO anode + titanium cathode / 2.8" X 5" size / custom made from Kurt Bjorn

 

 

 

So I need to buy:

1.) 5 foot, 4 AWG copper wire welding cable = http://www.ebay.com/...=item58938c6184

 

2.) 4 AWG Tinned Heavy Wall Lug 1/4 inch = http://www.ebay.com/...=item45f1e748d8

 

3.) Ampere Meter + Shunt / 100A , 50mV = http://www.ebay.com/...=item25700305b5

 

4.) Plastic container / Dimension: 6" x 6" x 10" = http://www.ebay.com/...=item4aa71c60af

 

5.) Potassium chloride

 

6.) Hydrochloric acid and a dropper

 

7.) Distilled water

 

8.) Glue to seal anode and cathode

 

Questions:

- What other items do I need to make a chlorate cell?

 

- The power supply have a small trimmer potentiometer that allows adjustment between a narrow range.

So, do I also need a voltmeter to set the output circuit to 5 volt? Here is one from the same vendor on ebay:

Thanks,

Hi philipp,

 

 

I am also trying to produce chlorates. I know you may have already started since you posted this in 2012 but you are still struggling see this video to improve you cell.
