Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
THE METHOD OF SUBJECTING REDUCIBLE COMPOUNDS TO ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION COMPRISING PASSING AN ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OF SAID COMPOUND INTO THE CATHODE COMPARTMENT OF A TWO-COMPARTMENT CELL DEFINED BY A POROUS DIAPHRAGM, SAID CELL HAVING A SOLID NON-POROUS CATHODE IN ONE COMPARTMENT AND A POROUS CATALYTIC ANODE IN THE OTHER COMPARTMENT, SAID ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION BEING UNDER SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO PASS THROUGH SAID POROUS DIAPHRAGM INTO THE ANODE COMPARTMENT, INTRODUCING A HYDROGEN ION PRODUCING FUEL THROUGH SAID CATALYTIC ANODE, SAID CATALYST OF THE ANODE COMPRISING A MATERIAL CAPABLE OF EFFECTING HYDROGEN ION PRODUCING ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN SAID FUEL AND SAID ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION TO FORM HYDROGEN IONS, PASSING A DIRECT CURRENT FROM THE ANODE TO THE CATHODE, AND REMOVING THE REDUCED COMPOUND FROM THE ANODE CHAMBER OF SAID CELL.
