Definitions

  • the cathode assemblies of the instant invention are readily assembled by covering at least one face of the reticulate structure with the polymeric layer. Once assembled, their unitized construction allows ready changeout as the openly porous structure becomes plugged with accumulating metal deposits.
  • a portion of the supporting structure extending above the normal level of solution within the electrolytic cell is left uncovered by the polymeric material.
  • a cathode was fabricated by attaching two 15 by 15 by 0.65 cm conductive foam squares to both faces of a 15 cm by 20 cm piece of aluminum structural mesh having substantial open area. Attachment was made using staples. A 5 cm wide strip of the aluminum mesh remaining exposed.
