  • Bipolar electrode for an electrolyzer
    Patent number: 5266176
    Abstract: Bipolar electrode for an electrolyser of the series type, comprising two metal plates (1, 2) arranged in parallel facing each other, an electrically conductive solid mass (3) maintained under pressure between the two plates and a means for heating the solid mass to a temperature which is at least equal to its flow temperature. The bipolar electrode is suitable for electrolysers of the series type, in which sodium chlorate and hydrogen are produced by electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solutions.

  • Electrolyser having electrodes coupled in electrical series along a common vertical wall
    Patent number: 5141619
    Abstract: Electrolyzer comprising at least two elementary electrolysis cells (1), coupled in electrical series along a common vertical wall (6) which comprises two vertical metal plates (10, 11), arranged on either side of a peripheral frame (12) so as to define a vertical chamber (16). One of the plates (10) carries an anode (13) of one of the cells and the other plate (11) carries a cathode (14) of the other cell. The chamber (16) contains a metal mass whose melting temperature is lower than the temperature prevailing in the said chamber when the electrolyzer is in operation. The electrolyzer is suitable for the electrolytic production of sodium chlorate.
