ELASTIC CURRENT DISTRIBUTOR FOR PERCOLATING CELLS

摘要

An electrolysis cell comprising an anodic compartment and a cathodic compartment separated by an ion-exchange membrane, at least one of said compartments equipped with a gas-diffusion electrode having two major surfaces, the first major surface of said gas-diffusion electrode facing the membrane and being in contact with a planar porous element to be traversed by an electrode flow, the second major surface of said gas-diffusion electrode being in contact with a current distributor comprising a multiplicity of elastic conductive protrusions for compressing said gas-diffusion electrode against said planar porous element.
