Definitions

  • An electrolyser of the series connected filter press type with vertical bipolar electrodes for the production of chlorine, hydrogen and caustic alkali by the electrolysis of a solution of an alkali metal chloride comprises a series of elementary electrolysis cells surmounted by a tank containing the solution Each of the elementary cells is in communication with the tank by an individual duct of insulating material which at' tends approximately over the entire height of the cell and opens into the anode chamber at the bottom of the cell.
  • a duct for the evaculation of chlorine from each cell passes up through the bottom of the tank and extends up inside the tank to a point above the level of the solution.
  • Duct means are formed in the bottom portion of the cell frame members with one duct means registering with a U-shaped tube in each cell for withdrawing caustic alkali from the cell, a sec ond duct means registering with a tube extending to the upper part in each cell for withdrawing hydrogen from each cell, and with a third duct means registering with a transverse distributor in each cell for supplying reagent to each cell.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an electrol0 lyser of the diaphragm type comprising a number of elementary cells with vertical bipolar electrodes connected in series to a source of direct current.
  • a disadvantage of these known electrolysers with a partitioned tank resides in fact in the necessity of arranging partitions in this tank, which is of such a nature as to increase its weight and reduce its useful capacity.
  • the small cross-section of the orifices made in the partitions of the tank makes it necessary to feed this tank with electrolyte simultaneously in a number of the compartments of this tank if one wishes to avoid a variation in the concentration of the electrolyte between these compartments.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates for this purpose to a diaphragm electrolyser of the series type with vertical bipolar electrodes for the production of chlorine, hydrogen and a caustic alkali by the electrolysis of a solution of an alkali metal chloride.
  • the electrolyser comprises at least two elementary electrolysis cells surmounted by a tank containing the solution, each elementary cell being connected with the tank and comprising separate ducts for the evacuation of the chlorine, the hydrogen and the caustic alkali.
  • the electrolyser is characterised by the fact that each elementary cell is connected with the tank by an individual pipe of insulating material which extends approximately over the entire height of the cell and which leads out near the bottom or into the bottom of the latter, and by the fact that the pipe for evacuating the chlorine from each elementary cell passes through the bottom of the tank and leads out into a pipe extending up inside the tank to a point above the level of the solution.
  • the electric circuit of the current branched through the electrolyte contained in the tank comprises the abovementioned pipes connecting this tank with the elementary cells. These pipes extend approximately over the entire height of these bipolar elements, this branched circuit has a high electrical resistance so that it is possible in the electrolyser according to the invention to do away with the above-mentioned partitions with which the tank of known cells is equipped.
  • the anolyte is subjected to an ascending movement in the elementary cells, which advantageously facilitates the evacuation of the chlorine discharged at the anodes.
  • the chlorine discharged at the anodes does not percolate through the considerable mass of electrolyte contained in the tank, which facilitates its evacuation from the elementary cells and, all other things being equal, permits of higher current densities.
  • the upper part of the tank constitutes also a pocket of high capacity where the chlorine produced in the different elementary cells accumulates, which is of such a nature as to facilitate its extraction from the electrolyser.
  • the electrolyser according to the invention is of the filter press type and formed by the juxtaposition of a series of frames constituting the lateral walls of the elementary cells
  • the tank is bounded between a partition fitted in a waterproof manner on the whole of the frames and a lid in the form of a bell of large dimensions placed on this partition.
  • the partition is drilled on one side with a first series of apertures which communicate with the above-mentioned pipes for the admission of the solution arranged in the frames, and on the other hand with a second series of apertures which communicate with the anode chambers of the elementary cells so as to ensure the evacuation of the chlorine produced in these cells.
  • the latter apertures each lead out into a distinct tube or in a group into a common tube, this tube being fixed transversely to the partition and emerging above the level of the solution in the tank.
  • the tubes may be replaced by a single duct fixed transversely to the partition, around the above-mentioned second series of apertures, and emerging above the level of the solution in the tank.
