Ive read you can use Lead (di)Oxide Coated Anodes for KCLO4, But can
you use Just Lead (di)Oxide anodes from a Lead-Acid Battery? There are
3 Different kinds listed on this site :http://www.wfvisser.dds.nl/EN/
PbO2_EN.html But Im guessing the kind that are in batteries are
graphite rods coated with Lead (di)Oxide and not Pure Lead (di)Oxide
I havent been able to find a distrubutor that sells Lead Oxide, and I
can get Lead Acid Batteries for a pretty cheap price, but removing the
electrodes from the battery might be a (dangerous) and taskfull
challenge...
Even If I cant use the electrodes directly, I could always plate
Plastic with it (Its on the geocities site about lead (di)oxide.) |

I don't fully understand your problem.[/quote:871273032c]
My first question is: Anodes are the electrodes in an electrical cell where
oxidation takes place. So, what gets oxidized with your "Lead (di)Oxide
anodes"? Is it the lead? Is it the oxygen? (not likely). Where does KCLO4
fit into this discussion?

Your probably confused on the terminology Im using. By Electrodes, I
mean the rods from the battery. The Anode inside the battery is made
Of Lead (di)Oxide. I wanted to know If I could use the Anodes for
KCLO4 Production, But I already answered it, since the Lead (di) Oxide
is crumbally. KCLO4 Is produced by using Lead Oxide Anodes (Or other
metals such as Platinum or DSA anodes)
Err, nevermind Seems KCLO3 is used more than Perchlorate in
pyrotechnical formulas anyway...Meh, atleast the option is always
open..

Actually, no. K chlorate is less stable, particularly when combined
with certain other substances frequently used in pyrotechnics. K
perchlorate is more stable, and also contains more oxygen per unit
weight. |
