Electrolyzing process and electrolytic cell employing fluidized bed.

摘要

An electrolytic cell of the type which includes a cylindrical electrolytic cell main body (1) divided into a main electrode chamber (35) and an auxiliary electrode chamber by a diaphragm (28), and having main electrode particles (30) in the main electrode chamber, which are maintained in the fluidized state by an electrolyte supplied to the main electrode chamber; an electrolyte supply port (2) and an electrolyte discharge port (31) are provided to enable flow of electrolyte through the cell to maintain the fluidized state of the particles, and a porous auxiliary electrode (26) is provided in contact with the diaphragm on the side thereof facing the auxiliary electrode chamber, to facilitate flow of gas generated on the auxiliary electrode in the direction of the auxiliary chamber.
