摘要

Electric power is produced by electrochemical oxidation of zinc in suspension in an alkaline electrolyte. In order to prevent passivation of the zinc particles, the zinc-electrolyte suspension is continuously recycled during discharge so as to provide repeated passage of each zinc particle in an electric power producing manner past a negative current collector, with continual intermediate regeneration of each zinc particle by removal thereof from the collector between successive passages, for diffusion of the discharge by-products into the electrolyte before the particle is returned to the collector for the next passage and for renewed participation in said discharge.
