JPS5558382A - Partition body for continuous type electrolysis - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To increase the electrolytic current efficiency, keeping a narrow gap stably between the electrodes, by disposing a diaphragm in a frame body having protrusions on both sides, and disposing an anode and a cathode contacting with the protrusions, when electrolyzing drinking water.

CONSTITUTION: A diaphragm 12 made of fiber such as polyester and nylon is disposed in an enclosed container main body 1a, and a partition body 7 consisting of beams 8 formed in longitudinal and lateral directions is placed to divide into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber. Multiple protrusions 11 are provided on both sides of the beams 8 of this partition body 7. Being in contact with these protrusions, a cathode 5 made of carbon and an anode 6 made of ferrite, magnetite, or the like are placed, and the container is sealed with a cap body 1b. By supplying power through a bus bar 9, power is fed to the drinking water pressed in from a feed port 2. Ionic water such as Ca and Mg is obtained from the cathode chamber, and cosmetic water for facial rinsing containing SO₄, Cl and other ions is obtained from the anode chamber. Although the drinking water is inferior in conductivity, since the anode and cathode can be disposed at a narrow gap without short-circuiting them because of the presence of protrusions on the frame body, the electric resistance between the electrodes is small, and the electrolytic current efficiency may be increased.
