Abstract

Abstract The efficiency of electrolytic cells in which a gaseous cell product reacts with a component of the cell liquor or a reagent added to the electrolytic cell, may be substantially improved by the insertion of gas-dispersing means above the electrodes of the electrolytic cell and below the surface of the cell liquors. The dispersing means serves to mechanically diffuse the gaseous cell product into the cell liquor containing the reactant to provide intimate mixing and increased contact of reactants. The gasdispersing means may be any inert conventional absorption packing or distillation column packing such as, Berl saddles, Raschig rings, bubble trays, glass beads, and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 33 words
The electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 1 wherein the layer of inert packing material which forms the gas dispersion means is selected from Berl saddles, Raschig rings, bubble trays, and glass beads.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 37 words
The electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 2 wherein the gas-dispersing means is disposed within the cell housing so as to be completely below the upper surface of the body of electrolyte formed within the cell housing.
