Popis: Films, either organic or inorganic in nature, can form at electrode surfaces by naturally occurring processes or can be deliberately induced to form there. The behaviour of a deliberately formed Ca(OH)2 film on the rate of cathodic hypochlorite reduction in an undivided brine electrolysis cell is examined. The results can be modelled in terms of electrode obscuration and the conditions for film formation and dissolution are also treated. It is shown that the latter is a self-limiting process.
