摘要:
Methods separates a gas comprising providing a first electrode in ion-conducting contact with an electrolyte, providing a second electrode in ion-conducting contact with the electrolyte, wherein the second electrode comprises a liquid metal, providing a displacing material comprising a first surface in contact with the second electrode and a second surface exposed to an environment outside the second electrode, wherein said material permits flow of gas and impedes flow of liquid metal, and establishing a potential between the first and second electrodes, whereby gas flows toward the liquid metal. Other aspects include methods and apparatuses comprising electrodes, electrolytes and displacing materials.

An electrochemical cell is disclosed having a cell bottom or baseplate that has at least one drain hole therein which is fed by drain canals adjacent an end of the catholyte chamber such that the drain holes are gradually inclined to increase in depth laterally downwardly from the opposing sides of the cell toward the center and longitudinally downwardly from the opposing end of the cell toward the drain hole to permit removal or the addition of the liquid metal cathode from the angled electrolytic cell without requiring disassembly of the cell.

摘要:
This application relates to a device for adjusting the infraelectrodic distances in an electrolytic amalgam cell having a mercury cathode and graphite anodes and consisting of a cell tank with electrically insulated side supports for supporting an anode-carrying frame, the device consisting of a threaded bushing threadedly coupled to an adjusting shaft drivable in a conventional manner, said adjusting shaft turning idly within at least one other supporting bushing rigidly connected to the anode-carrying frame, and being axially constrained with respect to the supporting bushing, said frame being provided with two lateral rests each one having a hinge restraining at an intermediate point a lever constrained at its two ends, by hinges permitting rotations and limited horizontal displacements, to said supports arranged on the sides of the cell tank, and to said threaded bushing. Preferably there are at least two such devices.

APPARATUS FOR COMMON ADJUSTMENT OF THE POSITION OF A GROUP OF ANODES IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, INCLUDING A CELL CASING HAVING AN OPENING WITH A COVER CLOSING THE OPENING, AN INFLATABLE LIFTING TUBE SEALING THE EDGES BETWEEN THE CASING AND COVER AND CARRYING THE COVER, A GROUP OF ANODES MOUNTED IN THE COVER, A PRESSURE FLUID SOURCE FOR INFLATING THE TUBE, AND CONTROL MEANS OPERATIVELY CONNECTING THE TUBE AND PRESSURE FLUID SOURCE FOR ADJUSTING THE QUANITY OF PRESSURE FLUID IN THE TUBE AND CORRESPONDINGLY THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE COVER AND CASING TO VARY THE POSITION OF THE ANODES WITH RESPECT TO THE CASING: AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF A GROUP OF ANODES WITH RESPECT TO THE CATHODE OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL INCLUDING A CASING CONTAINING SUCH CATHODE AND HAVING AN OPENING CLOSED BY A COVER IN WHICH SUCH
ANODES ARE MOUNTED, IN WHICH PRESSURE FLUID IS MAINTAINED IN A CONFINED TUBULAR ZONE, OF TRANSVERSE HEIGHT WHICH VARIES IN DEPENDENCE UPON THE QUANITY OF PRESSURE FLUID IN SAID ZONE IS MAINTAINED IN SEALING CONTACT WITH SAID CASING AND COVER AND CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF THE COVER, THE CELL VOLTAGE IS SENSED BETWEEN THE ANODES AND CATHODE, AND THE QUANITY OF PRESSURE FLUID IS ADJUSTED IN SAID ZONE IN DEPENDENCE UPON CHANGES IN THE SENSED CELL VOLTAGE TO ADJUST CORRESPONDINGLY THE TRANSVERSE HEIGHT OF SAID ZONE AND IN TURN THE POSITION OF SAID COVER AND GROUP OF ANODES WITH RESPECT TO THE CATHODE.
