<p>An electrolytic cell of the filter-press type which comprises plate-like anodes, cathodes, and gaskets of an electrically-insulating material, and an ion-exchange membrane between each anode and adjacent cathode to form in the cell a plurality of anode compartments and cathode compartments, the gaskets, and optionally the anodes and cathodes, each containing apertures therein which form headers from which liquors may be charged to the anode and cathode compartments of the cell and to which products of electrolysis may be removed from the anode and cathode compartments of the cell, and in which the gaskets, and optionally the anodes and cathodes, each comprise an aperture therein which together form a compartment lengthwise of the cell which is in communication only with the anode compartments of the cell, or which is in communication only with the cathode compartments of the cell, and which serves as a balancing header.</p> |
