Abstract

PURPOSE:The insulative property of a cation exchange-membrane is utilized to firmly contact an anode, a cation-exchange membrane and a cathode, thereby minimizing an electrode distance. This results in a lowered decomposition voltage of alkali chloride and a reduced concentration of alkali chloride in alkali hydroxide. CONSTITUTION:In an electroysis of an aqueous alkali chloride aolution using a cation- exchange membrane, an anode surface is provided typically with an insulating cation- exchange membrane, whereonto is pressed a cathode by using a spring. This provids a firm mutual contact between the anode, the membrane and the cathode, resulting in a reduced electrode distance ranging from 0.01 to 2mm. At an anode current density of 25A/dm<2>, a cell voltage lowers by 0.1 to 0.6V compared to conventinal methods in the prior art. In addition, in a 50% concentration of NaOH, NaCl concentation decreases by 5 to 50ppm at the current density mentioned above.
