An anode for electrolysis is a plate 1 having a plurality of openings 5 for the circulation of electrolyte and removal of gas formed, the openings being rectangular and elongated in the horizontal direction (the plate being used vertically) and each opening has a horizontal bridging strip 6 and/or a pair of horizontal flaps projecting from the top and bottom edges of the opening (Fig. 3), which strip or flaps were formed by extruding or bending the plate and they protect away from an adjacent semi-permeable diaphragm 2, on the other side of which is a cathode 3. The openings form 50 to 60% of the area of the cathode plate. Terminals 7 at the edge of the plate are for attachment of electric current supply. The anode is used in electrolysis of NaCl and NaOH. <IMAGE> |
