A description is given of a method for determining current efficiency of an alkalichlorine plant simply by an analysis of a cumulative sample of chlorine cell gas, rather than by the more laborious method of measurement of the entire production and current input. A method of obtaining a 24-hr cumulative sample of gas at a uniform rate is described. Essentially the method of calculation is based upon the fact that the ratio of carbon dioxide and oxygen to chlorine in the cell gas depends upon the current efficiency of cell operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
