Anolyte sealing, electrical insulating for electrolytic cells

摘要

In diaphragm-type electrolytic cells for the production of chlorine and caustic from alkali metal chloride solutions wherein the cell is equipped with one or more metal cathodes and anodes and an electrically conducting and structurally supporting anodic cell base there is provided a novel electrically non-conductive blanket. The anodes are provided with collars at one end thereof and the blanket and cell base are provided with corresponding openings to receive and support the anodes. The blanket openings are provided with an integral lip and shoulder wherein resilient gaskets are disposed around the anode stems and between the lip of the blanket and the collar of the anode.
