The invention relates to a device for carrying out the electrolysis of bulk material containing anodically soluble constituents. According to the invention, each anode is accommodated in an anode housing (1) in which a permeable barrier (5) provided with axially displaceable partition elements (9) is arranged between an upper bulk material space (3) and a lower sludge space (4) for anode sludge. Said barrier (5) or at least one of the partition elements (9) forms the anode or at least one anode contact surface that faces the bulk material. Anode current is supplied to the bulk material via said anode contact surface. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out the electrolysis of bulk material according to which anode current is, in essence, purely supplied via an anode which is arranged at the bottom of the bulk material space and which is covered by bulk material. In addition, the bulk material is subjected to a current intensity gradient that diminishes from bottom to top. |
