UNIPOLAR-BIPOLAR ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO MAKE MIX OF HYDROGEN WITH OXYGEN Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B23K5/22 C25B1/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to gas-flame processing of materials with hydrogen-oxygen mix, particularly, to electrolytic cells to this end. Electrolytic cell may be filter-press or box-type device. Note here that some electrodes of the cell are unipolar while some of them are bipolar electrodes. It consists of flat or shaped parallel electrodes with holes of slots making gas and electrolyte passages. Space between electrodes is filled with electrolyte while electric current is supplied to extreme electrodes. Said electrodes are interconnected by current conducting buses to make sets, two extreme of which comprise n+1 electrodes while other include 2n+1 electrodes, where n is natural number. Note here that central electrodes of every said set with 2n+1 electrodes are located between two adjacent sets while other 2n electrodes of this set are arranged at the center of gap between electrodes of adjacent sets with contact with said buses.

EFFECT: multifold reduction in area (diameter) of electrodes rated at 100 A and higher.
