A novel electrolytic cell of the vertical electrode type comprising a novel cathode busbar structure, novel cathode elements and a novel anode base structure which enable the novel electrolytic cell to be designed to operate at high current capacities upward to about 500,000 amperes while maintaining high operating efficiencies. These high current capacities provide for high production capacities which result in high production rates for given cell room floor areas and reduce capital investment and operating costs.

Electrolytic cell

A bipolar multiple electrolytic cell having an alkali-chlorine diaphragm cell for obtaining caustic solution, chlorine and hydrogen in which the titanium metal electrodes act on one side as the anode and on the other as the cathode, the anode side being coated with a metal or metal oxide for activation purposes, and the cathode side having a dense coating of metal alloy of nickel and elements of the Group III or V of the periodic system, which is applied chemically, preferably by employing the so-called 'Kanigen' process.

Bipolar multiple electrolytic cell comprising a diaphragm and electrode

A novel circuit of electrolytic cells comprising novel electrolytic cells, novel jumper switches and novel arrangement of the jumper switches referring to the electrolytic cells which enable the novel circuit to be designed to operate at high current capacities upward to about 500,000 amperes while maintaining high operating efficiencies. These high current capacities provide for high production capacities which result in high production rates for given cell room floor areas and reduce capital investment and operating costs.
