Electrolytic cell with reduced inter-electrode gap

Improved electrolytic cell performance is obtained by modifying a standard box anode by increasing the width thereof by permanently deforming the anode mesh within the immediate vicinity of the anode post. Increases in anode width of from about 3 mm to about 12 mm, resulting in reduction of interelectrode gap of about 1.5 mm to about 6 mm, have been found advantageous. Improvement is enhanced by the use of a polymer bonded asbestos diaphragm. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A method for fabricating an expanded anode wherein said anode is comprised of a pair of planar anode plates attached to an anode post, said pair of planar anode plates parallel to each other and separated by the diameter of the anode post, said method comprising expanding said anode by bending each plate, while attached to said anode post, to a position wherein the plates are substantially parallel to each other and the distance between said parallel portion of said plates is greater than the diameter of the anode post except where the plate is attached to said post.
2.
The method of claim 1 wherein the anode plates are expanded by means of a punch and die.
3.
The method of claim 1 wherein the anodic plates are expanded so as to be 3 to 12 mm.
wider than their original width.
4.
The method of claim 1 wherein opposite narrow end panels of the anode plates are joined together and cut vertically prior to expansion.
5.
Method of claim 4 wherein the vertically cut anode plates are rejoined after being expanded.
Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A commercially significant application of electrolysis is the production of halogens, particularly chlorine, and alkali metal hydroxides, particularly sodium hydroxide, by electrolysis of aqueous alkali metal halide solutions, particularly sodium chlorine solutions in electrolytic cells with diaphragms between the anode and cathode elements of such cells.
Most cell designs contain three basic elements; namely, the anode, cathode, and diaphragm.
The vehicle for both supporting the anodes within the cell compartment and conducting the electrolyzing current to the anode posts is the anode base.
In some instances, the anodes may be supported from the top or sides of the cell rather than be extended from the bottom, and in such cases, the top or side becomes the "base" for the purposes described herein.
Commonly, the anodes are arranged vertically in uniformly spaced rows covering the width of the anode base
