The operation of a moving particle electrode in an electrolytic cell is monitored by detecting vibration or displacement created by impingment of the solid moving particles against a solid surface producing a signal or alarm whenever the vibration or displacement decreases or otherwise changes an undesirable degree. Vibration or displacement decrease is caused by reduced movement of the particles associated with or part of the electrode.

Monitoring moving particle electrodes

The invention discloses a method of controlling the size distribution of electroconductive particles constituting a particulate electrode in an electrochemical cell. Particles are extracted from the particulate electrode and are subjected to elutriation, the flow of elutriating fluid being such that particles larger than a predetermined size settle against the flow of fluid, while the other particles are carried along by the elutriating fluid and are eventually returned to the electrochemical cell.
