<p>For discharging a cake 7,8 of suspended solids formed on an electrode structure comprising an electrode 2, a membrane wall 3, and an electrolyte chamber formed by the membrane wall, means are provided for increasing the pressure inside the electrolyte chamber so that the membrane wall 3 expands, whereby the cake of solids of suspension is discharged therefrom. The means for increasing the pressure inside the electrolyte chamber are injecting gas into the electrolyte chamber, injecting liquid into the electrolyte chamber, and/or reducing the vacuum applied internally to the electrolyte chamber.</p> |
