Title:
ELECTROLYTIC TANK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5928583
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce electrolytic power consumption and to enhance current efficiency, by a method wherein a cathode and an anode having an elastic structure is integrated with a cation exchange membrane and both electrodes are connected to the frames of each electrode chambers to specify the ratio of the gas contact part and the liquid contact part in each electrode chamber. CONSTITUTION:In an ion exchange membrane method applied filter press type electrolytic tank for the electrolysis of an aqueous alkali chloride solution, an anode 1 and a cathode 2 are formed into corrugated loopers with highly elastic structures to be respectively connected to conductive members 3, 4 and supported by support members 7, 8 to be integrated with a cation exchange membrane 6 in a substantially contact state by surface pressure. An anode frame 13 accommodating the anode 1 has a hole 9 for an anode liquid supply header, a hole 11 for supplying and dispersing the anode liquid, a hole 10 for an anode liquid gas exhaust header and a hole 12 for gathering and exhausting the anode liquid gas and the ratio of the gas contact part and the liquid contact part of the anode is brought to 0.05 or less. In addition, a similar structure is formed with respect to the cathode frame of the cathode 2.
