APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTROLYSIS AND FLOAT

摘要

An electrolytic cell is disclosed including means for holding a first electrode in position relative to a second electrode to form an inter-electrode zone of specified dimension for containing the electrolyte; the means for holding including float means adapted for supporting the first electrode essentially free from support by internal surfaces of the cell; and conductive means for electrically connecting one electrode to a separate liquid pad of higher conductivity than the electrolyte. An electrolytic method is disclosed including floating a first electrode essentially free from support by the internal surfaces of an electrolytic cell, arranging a second electrode spaced from the first electrode to form an inter-electrode zone for containing electrolyte; and connecting one electrode electrically with a separate liquid pad of higher conductivity than the electrolyte.
