Direct electrochemical preparation of periodate from iodide $(I^-{ o}{IO_4}^-)$ 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$(I^-{ o}{IO_3}^-)$, and periodate from iodate$({IO_3}^-{ o}{IO_4}^-)$ 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 <TEX>$60^{circ}C$</TECX>. 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.
