Abstract: Improvements to a membrane electrolytic cell of the bipolar type, are based on the configuration of its structure, allowing it to have an independent distribution of brine feeds, since it is possible to visually inspect the flow continuity through the two translucent restrictive hoses. The hoses connect to two upper compartments, wherein the compartments ensure the anodic and cathodic containers collects product discharges and separates the turbulence area from the membrane area. This allows spill through to the translucent annular hose to act as a sight glass. This improvement refers also to a reinforced structure with a bulge, to keep the dividing integral injected plastic plate seal sides of the anode and cathode plastic frame compartments perpendicular to keep the minimal gap between electrodes, required to achieve a lesser voltage drop in the electrolytic cell, involving greater current efficiency and electric power (kWh) savings.

Abstract: Electrolytic membrane cells for use in the production of alkalis are provided. A central anode reservoir chamber (1) has titanium (12) spread in sheets on opposite sides for electrolytic reaction with two cathode reservoir chambers (7) to form a monopolar cell. Each cathode has a porous tin sheet (8). The respective cathode chambers (7) are separated from the anode chamber (1) by diaphragm (6). Raw materials are fed through hydraulic pipes in the bottom of the cell and processed products are withdrawn from a chamber at the top of the anode chamber 1 where gases may accumulate.
