Abstract
Abstract The specification describes an electrolytic cell for the treatment of water, comprising a closed container with a lower inlet opening and an upper outlet opening for the water and a cathode and an anode. In the interior of the electrolytic cell particles are located whose density is higher than that of water and which are prevented from leaving the electrolytic cell by gratings adjacent to the inlet and the outlet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A continuous process for the treatment of water which comprises passing a stream of water to be treated upwardly through and past electrodes of an electrolytic cell containing particles whose density is higher than that of the water, controlling the speed of said stream to form a fluidized bed of said particles and mechanically maintaining clean said electrodes of said cell by means of the kinetic energy generated from the fluidization of said particles.
