Abstract: An improved electrolytic cell of simple construction capable of satisfactorily producing periodates comprises a plurality of cathodes mounted vertically in parallel to the long sides of a cell body and spaced at equal intervals from each other, a plurality of open anodic compartment boxes with plate separators adapted to maintain the equal intervals, one or more anodes inserted in the compartment boxes, a plurality of PVC diaphragms mounted on both sides of the anodic compartment boxes in parallel to the cathodes, an anolyte inlet mounted in the lower part of the anodic compartment boxes and an anolyte outlet mounted in the upper part of the opposite side of the anodic compartment boxes, a cell cover provided with air intake holes and cell gas exhaust pipes, and perforated PVC lids for the cathodic compartments positioned between the cell cover and the upper level of the catholyte.

Abstract: A filter-press type electrolytic cell is disclosed wherein sodium hypochlorite is produced by diaphragmless electrolysis of saline water. The filter-press electrolytic cell is compact and simple in structure, and operates with improved current efficiency, at a reduced cell voltage, and with less power and with minimal maintenance.

Abstract: Chlorine dioxide is produced by electrolysis of a solution of chlorite and by using a compact apparatus which provides continuously a uniform concentration of chlorine dioxide, which can be operated easily, which discharges a spent electrolyte that can be treated easily and which achieves highly efficient use of chlorite and high current efficiency.
