Electroosmotic dewaterer

摘要

An electroosmotic dewaterer for dehydrating a liquid mud by supplying the liquid mud into a space between facing anode and cathode electrodes, applying d.c. voltage across said electrodes so as to gather the water content of the liquid mud to the cathode electrode by means of electroosmotic action and filtering the liquid through a filtering medium, wherein the cathode electrode is equipped with means for removing a deposit formed on the surface thereof while the dehydrating operation is carried out.
