Abstract
A process for producing chloric acid in an electrolytic cell having an anode and a cathode which includes feeding an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid to the electrolytic cell, and electrolyzing the aqueous solution of hypochlorous solution to produce a chloric acid solution. Using the process of the invention, chloric acid can be produced efficiently at substantially reduced production costs using a process which can be operated commercially. In addition, the chloric acid solutions produced are of high purity and are stable at ambient conditions.
