Claims
- 1. An electrolyzer comprising a plurality of bipolar system unit cells disposed alternately with cation exchange membranes therebetween, each unit cell comprising a partition wall consisting of an explosion-bonded titanium plate and iron plate which partitions said cell into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber, an anode which is a titanium substrate coated with platinum group metal oxides, the said anode being electrically connected to the titanium of said partition wall and an iron cathode electrically connected to the iron of said partition wall; there being an interval of at least 10 mm between the cathode and the partition wall.
- 2. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 1, wherein the partition wall is made by explosion-bonding titanium plate and iron plate, followed by hot rolling.
- 3. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 1 wherein the anode has a gas-permeable structure.
- 4. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 1 wherein the cathode has a gas-permeable structure.
- 5. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 3, wherein the anode is an expanded metal.
- 6. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cathode is an expanded metal.
- 7. An electroytic cell as claimed in claim 1, wherein space is provided between the anode and the partition wall.
- 8. An electrolytic cell as claimed in claim 7, wherein space is provided by connecting titanium substrate of the anode with titanium of the partition wall indirectly through a titanium support which is vertically arranged.
