Abstract
Abstract A gas-generating metal electrode for electrochemical processes, more particularly, a coated titanium anode for amalgam cells, comprising spaced-apart parallel rods arranged in a horizontal plane, the surfaces of said rods forming the working area of said electrode and the rods each having a cross section whose extent normal to said plane is greater than the extent parallel thereto, characterized in that the cross section of each of said rods consists of a rectangle (1a) whose height (hR) is normal to said plane, and at least one chordal segment (1b) on one side of the rectangle and whose chord corresponds to the width of said rectangle (1a) and which extends between and interconnects the opposite sides of said rectangle (1a).
