Abstract: An electrolysis cell for chlor-alkali electrolysis, including an anode chamber for accommodating an anode and for accommodating an electrolytic solution, wherein the anode chamber includes a circulation structure for improving circulation of the electrolytic solution and at least one baffle plate for improving horizontal homogeneity of the electrolytic solution.

Abstract: To provide an electrolysis electrode having a more preferable shape in electrolyzing pure water, an alkali aqueous solution, or an aqueous solution of an alkali metal chloride at a lower voltage than ever before, and an electrolyzer using the same. An electrolysis electrode or the like including: a metal perforated plate having a value of Factor V of 40 or more represented by the formula: Factor V=Rs×Rc×F/100000, in which Rs is a planar direction surface area per unit area 1 dm2 [cm2/dm2], Rc is a thickness direction surface area per unit area 1 dm2 [cm2/dm2], and F is the number of mesh apertures per unit area 1 dm2 (fine degree) [number/dm2].

Abstract: Provided is an alkaline water electrolyzer in which leakage of aqueous alkali solutions is prevented. The alkaline water electrolyzer 10 includes an anode chamber frame 11 defining an anode chamber 12; a cathode chamber frame 17 defining a cathode chamber 18; a porous diaphragm 16 disposed between the anode and cathode chamber frames 11 and 17 and partitioning the anode and cathode chambers 12 and 18; an anode gasket 15 disposed on the anode chamber frame 11; and a cathode gasket 21 disposed on the cathode chamber frame 17, wherein when the anode and cathode chamber frames 11 and 17 are fastened, the porous diaphragm 16 is held between the anode and cathode chamber frames 11 and 17 via the anode and cathode gaskets 15 and 21 and the anode and cathode gaskets 15 and 21 are in contact with each other around the peripheral edge of the porous diaphragm 16 by compressing the anode and cathode gaskets 15 and 21.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell that prevents, or at least minimizes, damage to a membrane and reduces electrolytic voltage may include an elastic member attached to an electrolytic partition wall within an anode chamber and/or a cathode chamber. The elastic member comprises a spring retaining part and a bonding part that is bonded to the electrolytic partition wall, parallel first support parts extending from the bonding part away from the electrolytic partition wall, a second support part connecting the first support parts, and two parallel spring rows. Each spring row may include first flat spring-like bodies, which originate from the first support part and extend toward the opposite direction of the electrolytic partition wall, and second flat spring-like bodies, which originate from the second support part and extend toward the opposite direction of the electrolytic partition wall.
