I use tin solder for electric circuits and it don`t react with HCl

go to the plumber section of the hardware store and buy 50/50 tin/antimony solder , it should work , also some heating should help.

Maybe it doesn't react that you see because the bubbles of hydrogen are too small and evolving too slow. Just cut it into the smallest pieces as you
can and then put it into HCl, it will dissolve after some time.

Could you please measure the resistance of your electrode?

I make that reaction using sulfide of tin make by melting together tin solder and the black residue was treated with HCl.
Then add H2SO4 and I filtered and used the resulting liquid.
But unfortunately my first MMO anode was failure because when I make electrolysis with 1,5V I observe a porous surface with small hole.

omg tap water you need to use distill water , tap contain chlorine ion witch corrod aluminium.

Because the anode turns out black, is it possible that the Aluminum/Tin/Antimony oxides are being reduced with the torch through carbon monoxide?

i facts it is black because th so small particule of oxide.
I never asked for this.

okay, so that likely would be the black, α-SnO, which has electronic band gap between 2.5eV and 3eV?
Also, is it verified now that antimony is also required in this process? I have Sn/Pb solder, but no access to Sb.

yes it is , i sertify it to you , you are sure that your hardware shop doesnt have 50/50 sn/sb , on the pakage it is wrigthed : Contain lead. but this
is false , if you read the small script it will say 50/50 antimony / tin .
I never asked for this.

There are dozens of types of solder.
From Wikipedia, this sounds like the correct one
95% tin 5% Antimony:
Sb5, ASTM95TA, Indalloy 133. The US plumbing industry standard. It displays good resistance to thermal fatigue and good shear strength. Forms coarse
dendrites of tin-rich solid solution with SbSn intermetallic dispersed between. Very high room-temperature ductility. Creeps via viscous glide of
dislocations by pipe diffusion. More creep-resistant than SnAg3.5. Antimony can be toxic. Used for sealing chip packagings, attaching I/O pins to
ceramic substrates, and die attachment; a possible lower-temperature replacement of AuSn.[7] High strength and bright finish. Use in air conditioning,
refrigeration, some food containers, and high-temperature applications.[16] Good wettability, good long-term shear strength at 100 °C. Suitable for
potable water systems. Used for stained glass, plumbing, and radiator repairs.
Did anyone find out if this electrode can make ClO4?

I found a company that makes 95/5 Sn/Sb but not the 50/50 kind.
What brand, product do you recommend?

in another post, about antimony doped tin on titanium, on 21-7-2007
Rosco Bodine writes:
The black color with the antimony doping might be a bimetal oxide or oxychloride of titanium and antimony, and that might be forming an unidentified
diffusion layer
[...].
so i guess, since this seems to happen on aluminum as well, it is not the titanium.

This fellow has a couple of quite good videos on evaluating sulfuric acid.

Some one did any new experiments with this anode? it's sound like a very promise anode for "poor man".

I have a ton of carbon electrodes laying about, would it work if i substituted the aluminum pipe for a carbon rod?

This is unrelated to tin/ antimony and aluminium oxides, but has anyone experimented with vanadium and nickel oxides? A solid coat of vanadium
pentoxide can be deposited on the activated layer of a titanium electrode when an ammonium metavanadate solution is applied and heated to
decomposition temperature.
I've always wanted to experiment with nickel oxide and possibly try to deposit a solid amorphous layer of nickel oxide onto the surface of a titanium
electrode. However, I cannot think of any salts of nickel that can be dissolved in water and then decomposed onto the surface of a titanium electrode.
Alternatively, is there a way to deposit nickel oxide electrolytically?
Any ideas?

Ok i will assume my failure , after 3-4 week , the anode was completly destroyed with production of grey mud. in fact after 20 day huge amount of gray
mess was produce.
I never asked for this.

plante which failure? after 3-4 weeks how much chlorate did you produce?how can an anode that lasts almost a month be considered a failure? i'm still
peeling off 6volt batteries for electrodes and i got a heap of black mud. but the way i look at it is i got dirty chlorate instead of potassium
chloride just sitting in a bag just being potassium chloride.i just unplugged my chlorate cell after 2 weeks of zapping left over bleach from
hydrazine sulfate synth. now i got BLEACH and black mud but no chlorate. i'm gonna use it to kill a stubborn old hackberry tree in the alley. i'm
still gonna buy tin/antimony solder this weekend and more muriate of potash.

Cyanureeves, He's probably calling it a failure because it isn't a true MMO anode. A true MMO can survive over 50 cycles in a chlorate cell.
