Abstract
Disclosed is a method of conducting electrolysis where a reagent is fed to a plurality of individual electrolytic cells electrically in series, an electrical current is passed through the cells, and an electrically conductive effluent is recovered from each of the individual cells. The electrically conductive effluent is discharged from each of the individual cells through individual metal outlets corresponding to each cell and collected in a common trough. According to the disclosed method, the electrically conductive effluent in the trough is maintained anodic with respect to all of the metal outlets discharging into the trough.
