It's been pretty cold here lately and just getting out to the barn to fire up the burners to keep things cooking can be a chore.
I had noticed that mixing HCl/Cl using Hypochlorite can be quite exothermic but when the solutions are very cold, the chlorine generated tended to remain in solution in greater amounts.
It seems that the Chlorine was reacting with the water to form Chlorine Hydrate, which is somewhat stable even at room temperature.
This might be an interesting way to increase the levels of Chlorine and have it generate Chlorine gas at a slow rate or heated to generate Chlorine for precipitating Palladium.
This is a patent reference on making it.
