Abstract AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL COMPRISES SPACED PARALLEL FLAT ANODE AND CATHODE, AN ANNULAR WALL OF DIELECTRIC MATERIAL BETWEEN THE TWO AND FORMING AN INTERNAL CHAMBER A SPIRAL PARTITION OF DIELECTRIC MATERIAL IN THE CHAMBER, AN INLET FOR ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION ADJACENT ONE END OF THE SPIRAL, AND AN OUTLET FOR ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION ADJACENT THE OPPOSITE EXTREMITY OF THE SPIRAL. THE SPIRAL PARTITION CAN BE SELF SUPPORTING, OR SUPORTED BY POSTS WHICH ADD TO TURBULENCE. IN A PREFERRED MODIFICATION TWO OF SUCH CELLS ARE PROVIDED HAVING THE CATHODE AS A COMMON WALL. IN ONE CELL THE INLET IS AT THE OUTER END OF THE SPIRAL AND THE OUTLET IS AT THE INER END AND THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE CATHODE, THUS FORMING THE INLET OF THE SECOND CELL, WITH THE OUTLET FROM THE SECOND CELL BEING AT THE OUTER END OF THE SPIRAL.
