摘要

The inventive electrolytic cell has a trough-type container comprising a floor, side walls, at least one inlet and at least one outlet for the electrolyte. Numerous plate-type electrodes are arranged in said container and are partially immersed in an electrolyte bath. The floor of the container, which is in contact with the electrolyte bath, has numerous openings for the passage of the electrolyte and at least one distribution chamber is located beneath the floor for recycled electrolyte. At least one of the side walls of the containers is provided with at least one feedback chamber for feeding electrolyte from the electrolyte bath back into the distribution chamber. The upper area of the feedback chamber is connected to the electrolyte bath, the lower area being connected to the distribution chamber.
