ABSTRACT:
An electrolysis cell comprising a cell housing containing at least one set of gas and electrolyte permeable electrodes, respectively an anode and a cathode separated by an ion permeable diaphragm or membrane, means for introducing an electrolyte to be electrolyzed, means for removal of electrolysis products and means for impressing an electrolysis current thereon, at least one of the electrodes being pressed against the diaphragm or membrane by a resiliently compressible layer co-extensive with the electrode surface, said layer being compressible against the diaphragm while exerting an elastic reaction force onto the electrode in contact with the diaphragm or membrane at a plurality of evenly distributed contact points and being capable of transferring excess pressure acting on individual contact points to less charged adjacent points laterally along any axis lying in the plane of the resilient layer whereby the said resilient layer distributes the pressure over the entire electrode surface, the said resilient layer having an open structure to permit gas and electrolyte flow therethrough and a novel method of generating halogen by electrolysis of a halide containing electrolyte.
