Multiple vertical diaphragm type electrolytic cell for producing caustic soda

摘要

An electrolytic cell for producing caustic soda comprising a large number of unit cells installed compactly in a cathode tank in electrically parallel connection, each of said unit cells consisting of two anode plates interwelded by at least two electroconductive supporting rods which in turn are connected to outer bus bars, an iron mesh cathode frame lined with an asbestos diaphragm surrounding the anode plates at a prescribed narrow distance, a corrosion-resistance cap mounted on the iron mesh cathode frame and a bottom dish inserted thereinto. The outer upper side walls of the anode plates are supported by setscrews to prevent the upper part of the anode plates from rocking.
