Electrochemical processes are used to produce an array of reactive inorganic chemicals and metals. Electrolytic cells use direct current and are designed to be process specific. Every cell consists of an anode, a cathode, and container. Cells may be monopolar or bipolar, with or without separators, and equipped to handle aqueous solutions or fused salt electrolytes. Industrial processes described include electrolysis of chloride solutions and production of manganese dioxide, fluorine, permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide. The electrolysis of water and production of heavy water are also described.
