  • Electrolysis device and method using a porous electrode
    Patent number: 5804044
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrolysis cell for percolating a solution in order to perform a chemical reaction, such as the cathodic reduction of a metal cation.This cell includes for example a bed of cathodically biased particles 31, a plurality of counter-electrodes 33, located at the periphery of the bed of particles and anodically biased and an additional counter-electrode 38, anodically biased and located at the center of the bed.This arrangement allows to modify the electrode potential inside the bed, in order to avoid the unwanted electrochemical reactions.
