1,185,757. Mercury cathode electrolysis of alkali metal halides. MURGATROYD'S SALT & CHEMICAL CO. Ltd. March 7, 1969 [March 29, 1968], No. 15347/68. Heading C7B. A circuit for use in the electrolysis of alkali metal halides comprises a source of D. C. power 1, a plurality of electrolytic cells 2 in which mercury is used as the cathode and a plurality of fuel cells 4, in which the alkali metal/mercury amalgam is used as the fuel, wherein the electrolytic cells and fuel cells are connected alternately and electrically in series, and wherein a shunt, e. g. containing a variable resistor 3, is provided from the cathode of each electrolytic cell to the anode of the next but one electrolytic cell. |
