Abstract
Amorphous metal alloys have the formula
M.sup.1.sub.a M.sup.2.sub.b M.sup.3.sub.c
where
M1 is Fe, Co, Ni, Pd and combination thereof;
M2 is Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta and combination thereof;
M3 is Rh, Os, Ir, Pt and combinations thereof;
a ranges from about 0 to 60;
b ranges from about 10 to 70; and
c ranges from about 5 to 70, with the proviso that a+b+c=100.
These alloys have utility as anodes in electrolytic processes and a process for the generation of halogens from halide-containing solutions includes a step of conducting electrolysis of the solutions in an electrolytic cell having an amorphous metal alloy anode of the formula
M.sup.1.sub.a M.sup.2.sub.b M.sup.3.sub.c.
