Abstract
There is disclosed an electrochemical process and cell, the electrochemical cell comprising an anode compartment through which flows an anolyte and a cathode compartment through which flows a catholyte separated, at least in part, by an ion-permeable wall, wherein the operating pressures within the anode compartment and the cathode compartment are controlled in a manner such that there is not a large difference of pressure across said ion-permeable wall. The operating pressures are advantageously controlled by a flow impeder constituted by a plurality of perforated plates or baffles disposed within an electrode compartment of the cell.
