摘要:
A mercury amalgam cathode electrolytic cell useful for the electrolysis of aqueous alkali metal chloride solutions is disclosed. The electrolytic cell includes means for reducing or eliminating the effects of electromagnetic fields induced in the mercury amalgam cathode by the various electrical currents in the vicinity of the cell.
摘要:
An electrolytic cell for carrying out processes during which gas is evolved is disclosed. The cell includes at least one hoodlike cover positioned above one or more electrodes and having an outlet opening below the electrolyte surface for the gas-electrolyte suspension and an elecrolyte-recycling space positioned outside the projection of the cover. The recycling space is free from gas-producing electrodes and is spaced a sufficient distance from the outlet opening that the backflow of gas is precluded.

Disclosed is a bipolar, mercury cathode, electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of brine. Mercury amalgam is removed from each individual cell through separate lines and fed to a mercury amalgam splitter. Mercury amalgam splitter contains a separate compartmentalized wheel for each inlet stream of amalgam. The compartmentalized wheel is caused to rotate and to drop the mercury from separate streams of different electrical potentials into a common mercury pool at a single potential. The mercury pool is electrically insulated from separate streams.

AN ELECTROYTIC CELL COMPRISING A STACK OF BIPOLAR UNITS IS PROVIDED. THESE UITS EACH MOPRISE A MERCURY CATHODE TRAY AND ANODES DISPOSED BELOW THE TRAY SO THAT THE ANODES OPPOSE THE MERCURY CATHODE OF A LOWER UNIT AND THE MERCURY CATHODE OPPOSES THE ANODES OF AN UPPER UNIT. MEANS ARE PROVIDED TO ADJUST THE RELATIVE LEVEL OF THE UNITS. THIS MEANS COMPRISES A SUPPORT ON ONE OF THE UNITS AND AN ADJUSTABLE SCREW ON THE NEXT ADJACENT ELEMENT WHICH RESTS UPON OR BEARS AGAINST THE SUPPORT OF THE FIRST UNIT.THE SUPPORT-SCREW ASSEMBLY IS PROVIDED WITH INSULATION TO ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE UNITS.
