Abstract
Improved electrolytic processes employing oxygen anodes. The improvement comprises the step of conducting a electrolysis process in an electrolytic cell having a platinum based amorphous metal alloy oxygen anode having the formula EQU Pt.sub.p A.sub.a D.sub.d where PA1 A is Cr, Mo, W, Fe, Os, Ir, Cu, Ni, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ti, Ru, Nb, V, Ta, Au and mixtures thereof; PA1 D is B, C, Si, Al, Ge, P, As, Sb, Sn and mixtures thereof; PA1 p ranges from about 40 to 92; PA1 a ranges from about 0 to 40; and PA1 d ranges from about 8 to 60, with the proviso that p+a+d=100.
