Membrane cell with an electrode for the production of a gas

摘要

An electrode for the production of gas in an electrolytic cell of the membrane type with substantially vertical electrodes. The electrode is a substantially vertical conducting plate having a horizontal zone for connecting it to a current lead and is pierced by apertures for the evolution of a gas. Oblique vanes project from the plate opposite the apertures. The apertures are substantially vertically extending slots and the vanes are elongated extending from an active face of the electrode and are arranged adjacent the vertical slots.
