Abstract

684,118. Electrolytic apparatus. EBERBACH & SON CO. Oct. 13, 1950 [June 2, 1950], No. 25031/50. Class 41. An electrolysis cell assembly comprises a container for the electrolyte, a liquid cathode at the bottom of the container, an anode arranged substantially centrally and extending horizontally over the cathode, an electricallyinsulated cathode probe having a conductive contact portion immersed in the cathode and positioned centrally of and below the anode, and a magnet outside the container and vertically spaced below the contact portion, the magnet being arranged to produce a magnetic field having lines of force substantially vertically extending adjacent the contact portion and substantially horizontally extending adjacent the anode. In the arrangement shown, a platinum anode 14 having a horizontallyextending spiralled portion 15 is positioned within a container 10. A cathode probe 22, insulated from the electrolyte by a glass jacket 23, has a bent lower portion 24 extending into mercury at the bottom of the container 10. Below the container is a magnet 18, one pole 20 of which is situated below the cathode probe 22, the other pole 19 being in the vicinity of the periphery of the container. During electrolysis the electrolyte and the mercury are caused to rotate in opposite directions. Ferro-magnetic amalgam is drawn down to the bottom of the container so that a fresh mercury cathode surface is continuously exposed to the electrolyte. In a modification a hollow glass tube with vertical portions and a lower horizontal portion is provided, for the purpose of conducting cooling water to the lower part of the cell. Instead of a U-shaped magnet, a magnet with a central probe spaced from an annular probe may be used. The apparatus may be used for cleaning spent pickle liquor from steel mills, or for purifying plating electrolytes. Instead of mercury, other liquid metallic materials, for example Wood's metal, Lipowitz metal, Rose's metal and gallium, may be employed.
