Definitions
- This invention relates to cells for the electrolysis of aqueous solution of alkali salts. These cells usually comprise two shallow troughs arranged side by side, the first of which is the electrolytic cell prope serving to produce alkali amalgam which thereafter is decomposed in the second cell. Such arrangement take up a great deal of space and it requires extensive current conductors.
- An object of our present invention is to avoid these inconveniences. To that end the electrolytic cell and the decomposition cell are placed one above the other thereby reducing by one half the floor space taken up, while keeping the advantages of the two original elements.
- a lifting device For conveying the mercury of the amalgam from the lower level to the higher level a lifting device is necessary, which should be of a power in.
- a is a horizontal electrode electrolytic cell
- b the amalgam decomposition cell, which are connected for the purpose of circulation of the mercury, by the downward column or passageway c and the upward column or passageway d.
- the trough of cell I) being under a pressure measured.
- the lifting device 6 has to overcome, in addition to the resistance represented by it, only the sum of pressures measured by the heights hl, hz respectively corresponding to the slopes of the two troughs, as is the case when the two cells are placed side by side.
- hydrogen is delivered under pressure by the decomposition cell. If it is desired to obtain chlorine gas under pressure, the electrolytic cell a will of course be located at the lower level.
- the invention is of as much advantage when a single decomposition cell is used for decomposing amalgam produced by a plurality of electrolytic cells, the decomposition cell then being preferably located at the lower level; a single lifting device may be used to convey the mercury to said plurality of cells.
