Fire hazard and prevention in the chemical reaction process(Ⅱ)
4. Electrolysis When electric current passes through electrolytic solution or molten electrolyte, the chemical change caused on two poles is called electrolysis. Electrolysis has a wide range of functions in industry. The smelting of many non-ferrous metals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, lead, etc.) and rare metals (zirconium, hafnium, etc.), the refining of metal copper, zinc, aluminum, etc., as well as the preparation and electroplating, electropolishing, anodic oxidation, etc. of many basic chemical industry products (Hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, caustic soda, potassium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) are all realized by electrolysis. Such as salt water electrolysis production sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine, electrolysis water production, etc. Risk analysis and fire prevention points in the
