Abstract
Abstract An electrolyzer is disclosed in which the anode plates have their vertical edges flanged and are fixed on separate space tubular frames. Each of the frames comprises two single separate sections and a twinned section between the two single separate sections. Each of the following space tubular frames arranged in the direction of run of the cathode ribbon is longer than the preceding one. Each of the frame sections comprises tubes having bubblers in their lower portions for introducing air to the electrolyzing tank, to thereby agitate the electrolyte.
