ELECTROLYTIC DIAPHRAGM CELL

摘要

A diaphragm cell for the electrolysis of aqueous salt solutions in which the cylindrical horizontal cell body is supported at one end by the cathode plate and at the opposite end by the anode plate. At least one anode and at least one cathode are attached to their respective plates in a manner which permits brine to encircle and pass between the electrodes. The cell body may be constructed of a lightweight material such as fiber reinforced plastic. Entry to the cell is facilitated by the horizontal arrangement. The resulting diaphragm cell permits a considerable savings in material and construction costs, reduces cell-weight while providing improved brine circulation within the cell.
