Extract salt from a solution
« on: November 19, 2016, 02:59:41 PM »
Hi,

I did an electrolysis with water and salt and now i got a solution of water, salt and sodium hypochlorite.
So my question is how do i extract the salt from the solution, so i get a clean water and sodium hypochlorite solution

Thanks,
p41nk1ll3r

Mixture of NaClO and NaCl is used directly. Purification is practically impossible at home.

what is your aim?
To get the pure salt or to get water with hypochlorite?
You want only salt you can evaporate by heating solution and you will get only NaCl left as residue.

What about thermal stability of NaOCl?

NaOCl will break down on heating to Cl2(g) and NaCl ...so only NaCl will be left after evaporating water.
