  • Electrochemical circulating bed cell
    Patent number: 3981787
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electrochemical process wherein an electrolyte is passed through one electrode compartment of an electrochemical cell, said one electrode compartment comprising a particulate electrode and being separated from a second electrode compartment of said electrochemical cell containing a counter-electrode by a separator having an ion-permeable wall inclined away from the vertical and towards the particulate electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 1975
    Date of Patent: September 21, 1976
    Assignee: Parel Societe Anonyme
    Inventors: George Stephen James, Bruce Ian Dewar, Walter Rudolf Moergeli

  • Electrochemical process and apparatus including means for equalizing pressure across the ion-permeable wall
    Patent number: 3945892
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electrochemical process and cell, the electrochemical cell comprising an anode compartment through which flows an anolyte and a cathode compartment through which flows a catholyte separated, at least in part, by an ion-permeable wall, wherein the operating pressures within the anode compartment and the cathode compartment are controlled in a manner such that there is not a large difference of pressure across said ion-permeable wall. The operating pressures are advantageously controlled by a flow impeder constituted by a plurality of perforated plates or baffles disposed within an electrode compartment of the cell.
