SETT ATT ELEKTRISKT OCH MEKANISKT ANSLUTA ANOD- OCH KATODSTODPLATTOR AV EN BIPOLER ELEKTROD

摘要

Disclosed is a method for electrically and mechanically connecting the backplates of a bipolar electrode to be used in a filter press electrolytic cell for electochemical production. This method employs the use of explosion bonded solid metallic strips between the two backplates of a bipolar electrode to provide the essential electrical and mechanical connection therebetween while leaving sufficient air space to allow the escape of hydrogen gas thereby preventing hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium anode backplate.
