BATH TANK FOR PRODUCTION OF MAGNESIUM AND CHLORINE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C25C7/00 C25C3/04 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed bath tank comprises lengthwise and end vertical walls that form the bath lined with refractory material and divided by baffle into tray cell and electrolytic compartment. Said baffle has bypass V-like channel with ledge. Electrolytic compartment houses alternating anodes and cathodes with shields and bars in the bath lengthwise wall. Bath lengthwise wall top part features variable cross-section composed by ledges with width increasing downward towards cathode bars. Top ledge has overlap with gas discharge branch pipe while bottom ledge is inclined. Cathode top end on baffle side has Z-like shear while cathode bottom edge has shear inclined towards electrolytic compartment. Baffle V-like bypass channel ledge is arranged opposite the shear of Z-like cathode.

EFFECT: higher operating reliability.
