Submergible electrode apparatus for dialysis

摘要

An electrode apparatus for dialysis of a liquid during electrodeposition processes includes an elongated body submergible in the liquid and having a generally open interior for receiving an elongated electrode therein. An ion exchange membrane forms a portion of the body and permits a filtrate to flow from the liquid through the membrane and enter the open interior of the body. An anolyte enters the body through an anolyte inlet, and an anolyte outlet removes anolyte and filtrate from the body. An electrical cable or conductor is joined to the electrode at a connection within the body to provide an electrical charge to the apparatus. A liquid-tight chamber formed within the body contains the electrical cable and electrode connection and retains them in liquid isolation from the anolyte and filtrate within the body as well as from the liquid within the electrodeposition container. Access is provided to the chamber to permit servicing of the connection.
