BULKE POROUS ELECTRODE MATERIAL AND FLOW- THROUGH ELECTRODE ON ITS BASE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: electrochemistry; conducting redox reactions. SUBSTANCE: proposed material is just flow-through bulky porous electrode material and electrode-cathode or anode on its base. Bulky porous material with developed surface on base of nonwoven fibers possesses electronic conduction; it is made from metallized sintepon at specific conductance no less than 0.1 to 10 S/cm. Flow-through bulky porous electrode consists of porous matrix made from metallized sintepon and connected with current lead and provided with one or several layers of non-metallized sintepon having horizontal seals. EFFECT: improved physico-mechanical and operational properties; increased productivity of electrode due to increased accessible surface and larger volume of matrix; simplified construction of electrode; ease in maintenance. 3 cl, 4 dwg, 1 tbl, 3 ex
