APPARATUS FOR SEALING MECHANICAL CONNECTION AT BIPOLAR BARRIER SHEET

摘要

. In a filter press cell for the electrolytic production of chlorine from aqueous alkali metal chloride solutions and having adjacent pairs of anodes and cathodes mechanically and electrically interconnected, a system is provided for connecting the foregoing electrodes while sealing out the electrolyte from the passageway through which the connection passes. The system includes a valve metal flange completely embedded in a barrier sheet disposed between the anode and the cathode. To this flange, a metal rod is attached of which the ends protrude from the faces of the barrier sheet and are connected to the anode and the cathode.
