Abstract
The production of chlorine has increased several fold during the last four years. In as much as the present commercial method of production is largely electrolytic, this has involved a large increase in the consumption of electrical energy which is needed for other purposes. As a means of relieving this situation, non-electrolytic methods of chlorine production have been investigated. Such methods have centered around the use of salt and sulfur, two of the most common natural resources. It has been suggested that the non-electrolytic production of chlorine might be accomplished by the catalytic decomposition of chlorosulfon1c acid, which is readily made from salt, sulfur, air, and water. It was with this purpose in view that the investigation of the catalytic decomposition of chlorosulfonic acid was undertaken.
