Abstract
Abstract A composite electrode made up by stacking a multiplicity of alternate anode plates and cathode plates the adjacent surfaces of which are insulated from each other by a thin film of an insulating material such as fluon, kynar, PVC, etc. With this composite electrode, a K value of 0.100 to 0.150 can be easily achieved in the electrolytic production of chlorates and hypochlorites.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
An electrode assembly for use in diaphragmless electrolyte cells for the production of alkali metal chlorates and hypochlorites comprising: (a) first and second base plates disposed in parallel relationship at a distance from each other; (b) at least one row of equidistantly spaced apart finger-like metal cathodes projecting from the first base plate in the direction of but short of the distance to the second base plate, the cathodes in each row being in a same plane essentilly perpendicular to the base plates; and (c) for each row of finger-like metal cathodes, a corresponding coplanar row of finger-like metal anodes projecting from the second base plate in the direction of but short of the distance to the first base plate; characterized in that the anodes and cathodes of corresponding coplanar rows of anodes and cathodes are interdigitated and are insulated from each other by a corresponding coplanar thin layer of non-electrically conductive insulating material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
An electrode assembly for use in diaphragmless electrolyte cells for the production of alkali metal chlorates and hypochlorites comprising: (a) first and second base plates disposed in parallel relationship at a distance from each other; (b) at least one row of equidistantly spaced apart finger-like metal cathodes projecting from the first base plate in the direction of but short of the distance to the second base plate, the cathodes in each row being in a same plane essentilly perpendicular to the base plates; and (c) for each row of finger-like metal cathodes, a corresponding coplanar row of finger-like metal anodes projecting from the second base plate in the direction of but short of the distance to the first base plate; characterized in that the anodes and cathodes of corresponding coplanar rows of anodes and cathodes are interdigitated and are insulated from each other by a corresponding coplanar thin layer of non-electrically conductive insulating material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
An electrode assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the insulating material is selected from the group consisting of ceramics, silicone rubber and non-electrically conductive plastic polymeric materials.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An electrode assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein the plastic polymeric material is polytetrafluoroethylene, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride or polyvinylidene fluoride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
An electrode assembly as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3 wherein the cathodes are made of stainless steel or carbon steel and the anodes are made of titanium or zirconium coated with a noble metal of the platinum group or an oxide thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
An electrode assembly as claimed in claim 1, 2 or 3 wherein the first and second base plates are made of the same metal as that of the electrodes projecting therefrom.
