This technique used to be employed using two sites of graphite and mercury in the Castner-Kellner process for making sodium hydroxide, and it is used on a solution of alumina in molten cryolite in the Hall-Heroult process.
This technique used to be employed using two sites of graphite and mercury in the Castner-Kellner process for making sodium hydroxide, and it is used on a solution of alumina in molten cryolite in the Hall-Heroult process. The much-disputed discovery of cold fusion by Fleischmann and Pons used palladium to achieve this kind of process, and a common laboratory technique with a variant using a massive surfactant called SDS, uses this process through a polyacrylamide gel. For 10 points, name this technique by which water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen gas by the application of an electric current.
