Gibbs free energy, is the energy associated with a chemical reaction that
can be used to do work. The free energy of a system is the sum of its
enthalpy (H) + the product of the temperature (Kelvin) and the entropy
(S) of the system

HCL Electrolysis Energy Balance

For the first time, the gas-phase HCl oxidation with ODC has been examined systematically
in our group. For this purpose an experimental setup employing a fuel cell type membrane
laboratory reactor has been developed. In this contribution we present surprisingly low cell
voltages at high current densities up to 4 kA per m2

Cell voltage in Electrolysis of gaseous HCl is -1,5 to

-2 V (lower than electrolysis of aqueous
hydrochloric acid solution)
