Direct electrochemical preparation of periodate from iodide $(I^-{\to}{IO_4}^-)$ was investigated using a none-diaphragm cell and lead dioxide anode. The direct electrolytic conditions were combinations of the respectively results on the processes of iodate from iodide$(I^-{\to}{IO_3}^-)$, and periodate from iodate$({IO_3}^-{\to}{IO_4}^-)$ which were reported by the author, previously. The optimum condition was achieved when 1.0 M potassium iodide solution containing 0.5 g/l potassium dichromate as an anti-reducing agent was electrolyzed at anodic current density of $15{\AA}/dm^2$ and electrolytic temperature of $60^{\circ}C$. Under such a condition, the current efficiency was found to be 84 % at 98 % conversion of iodide to periodate. The explanation of electrode reaction was also given a consideration based on the polarization curves at lead dioxide anode in various electrolyte solutions.

Split and recombine type reaction module was made by electrical discharge machining. The reaction module has special features to well mix the two reactants which have high flow ratio or high concentrations difference. It could be achieved by deviding one flow equally by two and inserting second flow in between. The mixing performance was measured by a parallel competing reaction with iodide-iodate system. The result shows that the developed three inlets micromixer has better mixing efficiency than comercialized Y type micromixer.

To investigate the mechanism of the reaction of electrolytic oxidation of iodide to iodate ions, polarization curves are determined in various kinds of solution using electrodeposited lead peroxide and platinum anodes. It was observed from the polarization curves that the limiting current is exists at concentration 1.5 M of potassium iodide, and these limiting current disappeared as potassium hydroxide was added up to concentration of 0.1 M. while in case of platinum anode, limiting current did not appear in dilute potassium iodide solution. These results are owing to the chemical reaction, $PbO_2+2I^{-}+2H^+{\to}PbO+I_2+H_{2}O$ ocurring at the surface of lead peroxide anode. Also, we studied to obtain the optimum conditions of electrolytic preparation of iodate from iodide solution using a cell without the diaphragm. The results are that; (a) addition of potassium dichromate at the anti-reducing agent is proper in concentration of 0.1 g/l, (b) electrolytic temperature is not so much effective in raising the current efficiency, (c) current efficiency is increased with current density, and (d) electrolysis is the most effective in weak alkaline solutions.
