# Commission Implementing Decision of 9 December 2013 establishing the best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions, for the production of chlor-alkali (notified under document C(2013) 8589) (Text with EEA relevance) (2013/732/EU), Division: GLOSSARY

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Anode Electrode through which electric current flows into a polarised electrical device. The polarity can be positive or negative. In electrolytic cells, oxidation occurs at the positively charged anode.
Asbestos 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.
Brine Solution saturated or nearly saturated with sodium chloride or potassium chloride.
Cathode 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.
Electrode Electrical conductor used to make contact with a non-metallic part of an electric circuit.
Electrolysis 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.
EN European Standard adopted by CEN (European Committee for Standardisation).
HFC Hydrofluorocarbon.
ISO International Organisation for Standardisation or standard adopted by this organisation.
Overpotential 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.
PCDD Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin.
PCDF Polychlorinated dibenzofuran.
