ELECTROLYSERS FOR CONTINUOUS ELECTROLYSIS OF SEA WATER

摘要

"IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO ELECTROLYSERS" An electrolytic cell comprises an electrolysing chamber having a pair of terminal electrodes located therein and adapted to be connected to the poles of a D.C. source. A plurality of bipolar electrodes in the form of parallel flat annular discs are located in the chamber between the terminal electrodes and are rotatable about a common central axis through their centres. An electrolyte inlet is located radially outwardly of the bipolar electrodes. In order to provide vigorous scouring of the bipolar electrodes with relative low fluid flows to the cell, the electrolyte inlet comprises one or more elongate slots formed in the cylindrical wall of the chamber and extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the planes containing the bipolar disc electrodes.
