FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: anode for conducting electrochemical processes has a substrate made from titanium alloy which is coated by noble metals through thermal decomposition of their precursors. The titanium alloy substrate contains elements selected from a group comprising aluminium, niobium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, ruthenium, tin, tantalum, vanadium and zirconium, which are oxidised during thermal decomposition of the noble metal compounds. The obtained anode enables to save electrical power during electrolysis by increasing electrochemical potential and also increases service life of the anode, which is the technical result of the invention. The disclosed anode is suitable, for example, for electrolysis of alkali chloride.
EFFECT: obtaining chlorine with lower oxygen content and lower power consumption compared to existing anodes.
