Disclosed is an electrolytic cell comprising a cell frame having a plurality of electrolyte compartments, each compartment containing at least one pair of electrodes comprising an anode and a cathode. Each of the electrode pairs has a hydraulically impermeable membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode separating each electrolyte compartment into an anolyte portion and a catholyte portion. A space is provided in the electrolyte compartment to receive a portion of the membrane during operation of the cell, thus eliminating wrinkles in the membrane which are undesirable for various reasons, e.g. trapping of gas bubbles and allowing the membrane to vibrate during operation of the cell. |
