I have a couple questions about this. What type of jar should I use? Also the only power supply that I have right now is 12V at 3 Amp, should I use this or does it need lower volt's or higher amp's?

Thanks

Have you read the Perchlorate manufacturing thread?

In it this kind of thing is discussed extensively, and while it is primarily perchlorate oriented, I'm sure it is quite informative abut chlorate too

Thanks for directing me there. Found out some info on voltage and amps. Now I found out maybe use HDPE for the jar. Could someone who has done this tell me what they use as a jar?

There are hundreds of sites, topics and posts about ClO3 and ClO4 production. the production rate is directly proportional to the current flowing. three amps will mean a slow electrolysis. 30amps is better and 300 amps into a big cell should see product forming as you watch! rather than over weeks :(
