Definitions

  • This invention relates to the electrolytic decomposition of solutions, and more particularly to the electrolytic decomposition of sodium chlorid solutions in a cell of the diaphragm type, the primary objects of the invention being to provide an improved apfor the foregoing purposes.
  • the electrolytic cells in its preerred embodiment:receive in unit time a feed of a constant volume of electrol te, for example an aqueous solution. of so ium ehlorid, said electro lyte carryin salt, (typically sodium chlorld) in excess o? the amount normally soluble therein at the operating temperature, this excess of salt being of course present in solid phase at the moment of introduction of the electrolyte into the cell.
  • electrol te for example an aqueous solution.
  • electrolyte carryin salt typically sodium chlorld
  • the amount of water to be evaporated from the caustic would of course be correspondingly reduced: but the same object may be attained by keeping the concentration of thezliquor within the cell approxrl mately up to that of the feed liquor; or in other wordsas near as practicable at the saturation point.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatic elevation, partly in. section, of a typical circulating and feeding' system; Fig. 1a being a plan view of the constant level tank 6;
  • Fig. 2 is a partial vertical section of the same on a slightly enlarged scale on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and I Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are detail/sectional views of various types of feed nozzles which may be employed.
  • 2 represents the brine storage tank; 3 the salt hopper containing fine granulated salt such as may be obtained by evaporation of the caustic liquor produced in the operation of the cells; 4 the mixing and agitating tanlr; 5, 5, 5, 5 the electrolytic cells; and G the levelre ulating tank.
  • he tank i is filled with brine from the tank 2 by opening the valve 7.
  • 8 is a brinemetering device which may be power-driven or may -take the form of a geared rotor pump of the Root blower type, as more clearly illustrated in Fig. 2.
  • the brine flowing through this metering device turns the rotor 9, which drives the sprocket 10, and, through chain 117 the large sprocket 12, the latter revolving a double-Hight worm conveyor 13 which extends throughout the length of the salt hopper at the bottom thereof. This worm feeds the dry salt forward into the vertical open-ended pipe 14e.
  • the stream of brine from tank 2 is likewise.
  • a brine carrying an excess of salt in solid phase will be required; and it 'is generally preferable to obtain this by filling the' tank 2 with brine having a specic gravity in the neighborhood of 1. 2, and adding through the hopper 3 the salt necessary to provide the required excess.
  • the tank et is provided 4with a centrifugal pump 17 driven by a motor 18.
  • the intake 19 of the pump 17 is located close to the bottom of the tank d, and agitators 2O are mounted upon the vertical pump shaft.
  • the delivery pipe 2l 'from pump 17 carried over the cells 5 and. terminates in an elbow 22, lom cated within the level-regulating bank 6 and directed tangentially near the bottoni there of (sec Fig. F).
  • 23 is the overiiow inlet leading to the return pipe 2e', terminating in an elbow 25 which may be directed tann gentially near the bottom of tank 4.
  • each. cell 5 is provided a feeding orifice or nozzle 2'?.
  • a simple form of such orifice is illustrated on an eniarged scale in Fig. 3, comprising a calibrated glass tube 28 let into the pipe 21 through a rubber stopper by means of a tee 29.
  • the stream of brine from the tube 28 is directed into a glass tee 30, which discharges in turn into the cells, for example through lengths of rubber hose 31, connected with earthen ware well-pipes 32, which extend to a point well below the liquid level.
  • any preferred device may be used for conveying the salt suspension to the cells or distributing it therein.
  • the hydrostatic head upon the Anlagen 27 is determined by the level of the liquid in the tank 6. This may be adjusted as desired by changing the edective height .of the overflow pipe 23, which can conveniently be done by screwing diferent lengths into the cou ⁇ p ing 33. .oo long as the level in the tank 6 1s maintained constanhthe orifice 28 will feed a constant quantity of brine in unit therein.
  • Fig. 4 yillustrates a stream-line type of orifice, screwed flush into the pipe 21 and terminating in a succession vof tapered nozzles 34, screwed one upon the other,'each successive nozzle being slightly smaller than the preceding one with the result that toether they form a uniformly tapering bark of which the aperture may be closely regulated.
