ELEKTRODENELEMENT FUER ELEKTROLYTISCHE ZWECKE UND DESSEN VERWENDUNG

摘要

An electrode element for electrolytic purposes has a plate or block electrode (7) inserted in a U-shaped frame, with two side sections (2, 3) which, together with the lower part (4) of the frame which can be immersed in the fluid ion conductor, is surrounded by a pouch-shaped ion exchange diaphragm (20). In a frame-strap arranged beneath the electrode there are apertures (10) to allow the ion conductor through towards the electrode while in an upper strap is an aperture (15) for the exit of the ion conductor. The pouch-shaped diaphragm is surrounded by an external perforated protective casing (24). The electrode element is used as the anode in metal recovery cells or as the cathode in oxidation cells.
