Title:
ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR GAS GENERATION ELECTROLYTIC CELL AND VERTICAL PLATE ELECTRODE THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5943885
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
In gas-forming electrolyzers, particularly membrane electrolyzers having vertically extending plate electrodes, each electrode plate is divided into horizontal strips and the entire active electrode surface is parallel to the counterelectrode and spaced from it as closely as possible. The top portions of each of the horizontal strips into which the electrode is divided define gas escape paths and extend away from the counterelectrode. To improve the degassing of the electrolyte the ratio of the distance G between the counterelectrode or membrane and the gas-defining line S at the lower edge of each electrode strip to the distance E between the counterelectrode or membrane and the breakaway edge K of the angled portion defining the gas escape path corresponds to a degassing capability F which is lower than 0.6.
