Abstract
Abstract A tank, having a height several times its effective diameter, has a plurality of horizontal electrodes disposed throughout its entire height. Conduits and controls are provided for downflow of liquid to be purified in a nonturbulent manner. Electrolysis of the liquid causes gas bubbles to flow upwardly. This apparatus creates a nonturbulent flow of liquid directly counter to the flow of gas bubbles for a substantial vertical distance. In one embodiment the tank is a cylinder. while in another it has downwardly converging sides.
