ELECTROLYZER APPARATUS

摘要

The invention concerns an electrolyzer apparatus for the electrolytic manufacture of elemental F2 from an electrolyte/HF-solution, eg. KF x 1.8 FIF, comprising at least one electrolytic cell which contains at least two anodes, often 20 to 30 anodes, a metallic cathodic vessel, and at least two rectifiers such that each anode is allocated to one rectifier. In this manner, each anode can be controlled and regulated individually. Failures of each individual anode, e.g. anode break, causes the production of undesired side products, e.g. of CF4. Any faulty anode can be detected easily, and each anode can be shut off individually, if needed, and repaired.
