An electrolytic cell without a diaphragm, in particular for use in the manufacture of alkali metal chlorates

摘要

An electrolytic cell without a diaphragm is provided, having anodes and cathodes mounted, respectively, on an anode end and a cathode end, the ends being substantially vertical so as to provide an open space above the anode and cathode units; the cathodes being perforated, particularly at the top, so as to make the cathode space communicate with the open space provided above the anode and cathode units. The cell is particularly applicable to the production by electrolysis of alkali chlorates.
