Abstract: A three-dimensional electrode with higher strength and higher toughness is provided. The three-dimensional electrode is fabricated by bending a plurality of snicks which are formed in a plate-like electrode substrate toward the same direction. The stabilization of the positional relation among the elements generated by the three-dimensional electrode neither mechanically damages the membrane nor causes the insufficient current supply. The three-dimensional electrode is preferably used for brine electrolysis and white liquor electrolysis.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for producing hypochlorite of any concentration as desired by electrolysis and being easy to maintain. A hypochlorite reaction chamber is provided integrally with an electrolyzer, which is divided by a cation exchange membrane, and introducing means for introducing an anode chamber product and a cathode chamber product is provided between the hypochlorite reaction chamber and the anode chamber or the cathode chamber. As a result, it is possible to obtain an apparatus for producing hypochlorite and being easy to handle, and there is no need to install pipings for chlorine outside the apparatus.
