NEW BIPOLAR ASSEMBLY FOR FILTER-PRESS ELECTROLYSER

摘要

A bipolar assembly for filter-press type electrolysers is described comprisi ng a single sheet, whose two faces work respectively as anodic and cathodic wal l, characterised by a design of perimetral flanges which greatly simplifies its construction enhancing its reliability. The peripheral flanges are made of a first flange obtained by folding the peripheral portion of the single sheet and of a second flange formed by a rod or a tube with quadrangular section o r, alternatively, the first and second flange are pre-formed by folding of adequate strips subsequently fixed to the single sheet. The electrolyser resulting from the assemblage of a multiplicity of assemblies of the inventi on is particularly suited to the process of electrolysis of hydrochloric acid solutions carried out with chlorine-evolving anodes and oxygen-consuming cathodes.
