ABSTRACT:
An electrolytic membrane cell for the electrochemical production of an alkali metal hydrosulfite by the reduction of an alkali metal biosulfite component of a circulated aqueous catholyte solution is provided. The cell utilizes an improved extended surface multipass porous cathode, an improved catholyte flow path and a hydrophilically treated separator mesh that separates the cation exchange membrane from the anode.
