when some one is making sodium chlorate out of carbon rods
and is all done with the process with the battery charger they get a grip load of black stuff at the bottom

now that is the stuff you keep when you filter it throw a filter and then winsh the black stuff with boil hot water then you get the chlorate right

or do i got all this backwards
also you dont got to use HLI or any other chemical besides salt when you are making it right

If you searched the forum youd find an incredibly large amount of information on this. The black material is carbon from your carbon rods (noticed how they are corroded?). The chlorate will remain in solution or form white/clear crystals. Just when your done (search the forum or the web to find out how long to run your cell) warm up the solution until all of the crystals dissolve, the carbon residue will not dissolve. Filter the carbon and then you have chlorate in solution, again search the forum for information on how to extract the chlorate.
