Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The formation of sodium sulfate by-product in sulfuric acid-based chlorine dioxide generating processes is decreased and preferably eliminated entirely, by effecting electrochemical treatment of sodium ion-containing feed materials for the generator to remove sodium ions and to add hydrogen ions. Sodium hydroxide may be produced as a by-product. The process is generally applicable to the electrochemical treatment of alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal sulfates and mixtures thereof to produce acidified solutions useful in providing chlorate ion-containing feeds to such chlorine dioxide generating processes or for other purposes.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 23, 1991 and granted July 29, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 23, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 23, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
