Abstract
An electrolysis process is disclosed in which catholyte is transferred serially from one cell, in a bank of a plurality of cells, to the cathode compartment of a succeeding cell in the bank. The transfer is accomplished by means of a gas-lift in which gas, present in the cathode compartment rises through a confined space, which is dimensioned such that the gas serves to lift the catholyte upward to a point where the gas and liquid separate and the liquid catholyte is allowed to fall freely to a collection point from which it is introduced into the cathode compartment of a succeeding cell.
