Abstract
Abstract Electrical energy system including apparatus for making halogen hydrate whereby water in an aqueous solution and an elemental halogen are combined in the form of a thin liquid film on a continuously moving surface which is maintained within a controlled temperature range to promote the formation of the corresponding halogen hydrate as a solid layer on the surface. The layer of solidified halogen hydrate is continuously removed from the surface by scraping and the resultant flakes or particles are transferred by a conveyor to storage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, wherein said member comprises a drum rotatably mounted with the peripheral surface thereof adapted to be disposed in contact with said mixture for continuously applying a film thereon which is transformed into a solid layer of said regenerated halogen hydrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
21 words
The system of claim 2, wherein the water used in forming the halogen hydrate is from the aqueous metal halide electrolyte.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The system of claim 3, wherein the speed of relative movement between said surface and said mixture of halogen and water is controlled whereby said film is converted to a solid layer of halogen hydrate on said surface, said layer having a thickness of at least about 0.05 millimeters.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The system of claim 3, wherein the halogen hydrate is chlorine hydrate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The system of claim 5, wherein the electrolyte is aqueous zinc chloride solution having a concentration ranging from about 10 to about 35 percent by weight and the oxidizable metal is zinc.
