METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION OF SUBSTANCES IN AN ELECTROLYT SOLUTION AND APPLICATION OF THE METHOD.

摘要

An electrolyte in an intermediate space between permeable partitions respectively separating the intermediate space from the anode space and the cathode space of an electrolytic cell is caused to be circulated through the intermediate space so as to remove materials migrating from one electrode space before they have an opportunity to migrate into the other electrode space. It is also of advantage for the electrolyte to contain material for reacting chemically with materials so migrating from an electrode space, in which case the slow velocity may be reduced or, for reduction of the electrical resistance, the spacing between the permeable walls may be reduced. This type of electrolytic cell is applied especially to the sulfuric acid hybrid process.
