Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for removing gas-liquid mixtures from electrolysis cells divided into compartments, particularly membrane type cells, without producing pressure fluctuations, wherein each compartment of said cells is characterized in that it is provided with two different ducts for removing the mixture after separation into liquid-rich and gas-rich phases, each duct being connected with its first end to the upper part of the cell, while the other end of the gas-rich phase duct (4) is inserted into the liquid-rich phase duct (3) so that liquid is present only in the portion of the duct comprised between the connection to the cell and the point of inlet of the gas-rich phase. In the subsequent portion the flow consists in the gas-liquid mixture which is forwarded to a gas-disengaging vessel. As said second end of the gas-rich phase duct (4) is inserted into the liquid-rich phase duct (3), sufficient pressure is maintained in the upper gas-separating area of the cell to prevent the liquid-rich phase from entering the gas-rich phase duct (4).
