Reactor for electrolytic reduction of CR+6

摘要

The invention provides a dynamic electrolytic reactor for the reduction of Cr<+6> to Cr<+3> in aqueous solution. The reactor comprises at least one pair of liquid permeable anode and cathode connectable to an electric current supply. The cathode according to the invention is three-dimensional, and comprises a substrate of flexible porous material whose inner and outer surfaces are coated with an electrically conductive carbon black powder embedded in a binder.
