Abstract

368,115. Electrolytic cells. STUART, A. T., 8, Strachan Avenue, Toronto, Canada. April 13, 1931, No. 10874. Convention date, April 22,.1930. [Class 41.] A cell for the decomposition of water comprises a number of anode and cathode compartments arranged within a single tank, in which the electrolyte is circulated, being collected from the top of the compartments of one polarity and returned to the bottom of the cell where it mixes with electrolyte from the chambers of opposite polarity ; alternatively, the electrolyte collected from the top of one set of compartments is fed directly to the bottom of the compartments of opposite polarity. In the cell shown in the Figure each electrode consists of a number of thin narrow parallel strips connected to a feeder 16. The anodes 2, 4 and the cathodes 1, 3, 5 are arranged closely so that the edges of the strips meet the separating diaphragms D. The diaphragms are surmounted by hoods 20 which with partitions 22 form a space 22c from which oxygen is withdrawn at 27 and from which the anolyte is led by an asbestos tube 26 to the bottom of the tank 10. The circulation may be regulated by a damper 30. The interior of the hoods is connected to the space outside the partitions 22 from which hydrogen is withdrawn at 23, the catholyte descending to the bottom at one end of the tank. In a modification, pipes are provided within the tank connecting the space above the anode chambers to the bottom of the cathode chambers and vice versa. Dampers are provided in both branches of the circulating system. Specification 254,268, [Class 41, Electrolysis], is referred to.
