Improvements in an electrolyzer of the type comprising a cathode of Mercury flowing over a surface of an Anode on gradients and separated by a diaphragm

摘要

A horizontal electrolyzer comprises a mercury cathode, an anode located above the cathode and an inclined diaphragm separating the cathode from the anode, the cathode, diaphragm and anode being substantially parallel. The cathode consists of mercury flowing longitudinally in a plurality of channels which are vertically offset with respect to each other.
