ELECTROCHEMICAL INSTALLATION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: electrolytic processes. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrochemical treatment of aqueous solutions and producing gases, in particular, to electrochemical installation with collecting and distributing anolyte and catholyte electrodes, anode and cathode chambers being executed in the form of parallelogram. In the upper and lower angles of the latter, to communicate, respectively, with collecting and distributing electrodes, there are channels providing direction of the electrolyte travel from the right-upwards-to the left in anode chambers and from the left-upwards-to the right in cathode chambers. The channels are shaped as confined space effecting incomplete contraction and expansion of electrolyte stream caused by that one side of channel constitutes straight line being extension of the chamber side wall to its intersection with collecting or distributing electrode in the point where radius R of electrode passes perpendicularly to this side wall. The second side wall of channel constitutes semicircle connecting collecting or distributing electrode with this wall in the point where semicircle intersects electrode radius R parallel to straight side of channel, radius of semicircle r being related to radius R by inequality $$$. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of treating aqueous solutions. 1 dwg
