An electrochemical cell that generates hydrogen has an anode including an electrochemically oxidizable substance and an electrode designed for hydrogen generation as a cathode and an aqueous alkaline electrolyte. The anode and the cathode are designed such that the hydrogen generation begins at the cathode as soon the anode and the cathode are electrically connected to one another. At least one resistance foil is adhesively bonded to at least one outer side of the housing which, when it is connected as a load resistance between the anode and the cathode, reduces the current flow between the anode and the cathode and therefore also the gas generation rate.

Provided are an elastic cushion member and an ion exchange membrane electrolyzer using the same, which elastic cushion member can be installed even in an ion exchange membrane electrolyzer having such a small gap between an electrode and an electrode current collecting plate that a conventional elastic cushion member cannot be arranged therein. An elastic cushion member (10) has a pair of corrosion-resistant metal thin plates (11) arranged at a distance in parallel fashion and a fixing member (12) which fixes the pair of corrosion-resistant metal thin plates (11) and comprises a metal elastic body (13) wound between the pair of corrosion-resistant metal thin plates (11). The fixing member (12) is attached to the pair of corrosion-resistant metal thin plates (11) in a manner that enables detachment of the fixing member therefrom. The metal elastic body (13) is preferred to be a metal coil body. It is also preferable that each of the corrosion-resistant metal thin plates (11) is provided with a slippage prevention means.

Also, a method of generating molecular hydrogen from a proton conducting fuel cell having a positive and negative electrode in contact with a proton conducting ceramic electrolyte, including selectively extracting pure hydrogen from a hydrogen gas mixture, and electrolyzing water vapor at a positive electrode of the fuel cell to form molecular oxygen (O2) and hydrogen ions, and reducing the hydrogen ions at a negative electrode of the fuel cell to form molecular hydrogen (H2).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for adjusting the distance between the anodes and cathodes in an electrolysis cell includes first and second anode beams, movably disposed in an upper and lower relationship. The anode beams are interconnected by a spindle having upper and lower portions which are oppositely threaded such that rotating the spindle in a first direction moves the beams towards each other and rotating the spindle in the other direction moves the beams away from each other. Cell anodes are selectively attached to one of the anode beams, dependant on the desired direction of adjustment. By attaching the anodes to one or the other anode beam, as they are cycled towards and away from each other, individual anode adjustment in either direction can be achieved. If desired, an essentially constant downward motion may also be provided, without requiring a halt in cell operation. Consequently, cell efficiency is increased and the cell remains on-line for longer periods, increasing production capacity.
摘要:
A monitoring and control apparatus for flowing mercury electrolytic cells by measurement of the voltage drop in the shunted feed line of each electrode group comprising taps at the ends of a measured section of electrical bus bars for each electrode group electrically connected to a measuring means whereby the measured voltage drop is fed as an amplified signal to the measuring means, a control means set for a value from the total cell current divided by the number of taps comparing the actual measured values at various feed lines and a signal means activated when a set excess current is exceeded and to actuate the adjusters for a group of electrodes to lift the electrodes stepwise by an adjustable amount until excess current is not measured by comparison indicating that the feed line is no longer overloaded and a method of monitoring electric current in a mercury cell.
摘要:
An improved method for adjusting the space between an adjustable anode and a cathode in an electrolytic cell wherein current measurements and voltage measurements are obtained and compared with predetermined standards. Measurements of deviation from predetermined standards are employed to determine the direction of anode adjustment. The current is balanced between the individual anode posts of the anode sets and between the individual anode sets of an electrolytic cell within predetermined limits.

A pneumatic anode positioning apparatus is disclosed for positioning any number of a plurality of anodes relative to a cathode in an electrolytic cell. This apparatus comprises a means for determining the desired anode position for each of the anodes and converting the amount of movement necessary to attain such position to a number of increments of predetermined displacement. The apparatus has a pneumatic, bidirectional drive means for incrementally rotating a substantially horizontally disposed shaft, a plurality of vertically disposed jack screws each connected to an anode or anodes and provided with means therebetween for changing incremental rotary motion to incremental, vertically longitudinal anode motion, a plurality of worm gears connected at their outer periphery to the shaft and at their inner periphery to an actuator nut disposed concentrically about a top portion of the jack screw, and pneumatic means for selectively engaging each actuator nut to its respective jack screw to rotate the jack screw incrementally in response to the incremental rotary movement of the shaft, the engaging means being responsive to the means for determining the desired anode position.
