Talk:Electrolysis
From Academic Kids
Electrolysis is a practiced world wide trade or profession where operators remove unwanted hair from people or animals permentantly. This whole field of electrolysis(hair removal) was started in 1875 by Charles E. Michel M.D. It is recognized as a trade by the Manitoba government!
In electrolysis the anode is frequently consumed but this is not (never!) written down as part of the chemical reaction. Especially graphit anodes in aluminium electrolysis is oxydised and "bubbles away" as CO2.
Does anyone have information about the reactions that consume the anode and which preserve them? Would this be a valuable part of the article?
