In electrolytic cells, oxidation occurs at the positively charged anode.\nAsbestos Set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their desirable physical properties. Chrysotile (also called white asbestos) is the only form of asbestos used in diaphragm cell plants.\nBrine Solution saturated or nearly saturated with sodium chloride or potassium chloride.\nCathode Electrode through which electric current flows out of a polarised electrical device. The polarity can be positive or negative. In electrolytic cells, reduction occurs at the negatively charged cathode.\nElectrode Electrical conductor used to make contact with a non-metallic part of an electric circuit.\nElectrolysis Passage of a direct electric current through an ionic substance, resulting in chemical reactions at the electrodes. The ionic substance is either molten or dissolved in a suitable solvent.\nEN European Standard adopted by CEN (European Committee for Standardisation).\nHFC Hydrofluorocarbon.\nISO International Organisation for Standardisation or standard adopted by this organisation.\nOverpotential Voltage difference between a half-reaction’s thermodynamically determined reduction potential and the potential at which the redox event is experimentally observed. In an electrolytic cell the overpotential leads to the consumption of more energy than thermodynamically expected to drive a reaction.\nPCDD Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin.\nPCDF Polychlorinated dibenzofuran.",
