FIELD: electrolysis in flow multielectrode electrolyzer. SUBSTANCE: proposed electrolyzer has intercommunicating electrolysis and inlet chambers. Electrolysis includes uninterrupted and uniform feed of starting electrolyte into interelectrode spaces of electrolysis chamber, removal of electrolyte from electrolysis into inlet chamber and discharge of finished product from inlet chamber. Starting electrolyte is fed into upper parts of interelectrode spaces and removal of electrolyte into inlet chamber is performed from lower part of electrolysis chamber. Process of electrolysis is conducted with the proviso that electrolysis and inlet chambers are filled with electrolyte. Gear for implementation of electrolysis has body separated by one partition as minimum into intercommunicating inlet and at least one electrolysis chambers where parallel electrodes are installed. Electrolysis chamber is fitted with distributor feeding electrolyte into interelectrode spaces. Inlet chamber has hole for discharge of finished product. Distributor is located in upper part of electrolysis chamber. Partition is set in body with clearance relative to bottom. Hole for discharge of finished product is located at level ensuring filling of electrolysis and inlet chambers with electrolyte. EFFECT: enhanced productivity and efficiency of process of electrolysis. 6 cl, 4 dwg
