FREMGANGSMAADE TIL FREMSTILLING AF KALIUMPEROXYDIPHOSPHAT AD ELEKTROLYTISK VEJ

@ The invention provides a process to maintain the anolyte pH in the desired range while manufacturing potassium peroxydiphosphate on a commercial scale. The process characterized by electrolyzing an alkaline anolyte containing potassium, phosphate, and hydroxyl ions at a platinum or noble metal anode optionally in the presence of a reaction promoter. The catholyte, an alkali metal hydroxide, is separated from the anolyte by a separating means permeable to anions permitting hydroxyl ions to be transferred into the anolyte thereby maintaining the pH of the anolyte in the desired range.
