Flow of electrolyte through electrolytic cells

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, This invention provides an electrode system which includes a vessel with an ion-permeable wall a current, feeder within the vessel spaced apart from the ion-permeable wall and a plurality of electrically conductive particles free to move within a region between the current feeder and the ionpermeable wall. The said particles constitute in use, a, particulate electrode. The vessel incorporates at its base a flow distributor which comprises at least one channel discharging into the interior of the vessel, the channel or channels being so arranged that, when the electrode system is in use a fluid discharged into the vessel through the flow distributor debouches into …
