Abstract:
A mono-polar electrochemical system, comprising:a) at least two cells, each cell defining an anolyte chamber and a catholyte chamber, and including an anode electrode in said anolyte chamber, and a cathode electrode in said catholyte chamber, each anode electrode including a pair of opposite surfaces in contact with an anolyte with a common polarity on each of said opposite surfaces to produce a first chemical product on both surfaces of the anode electrode in operation, each cathode electrode including a pair of opposite surfaces in contact with a catholyte with a common polarity on each of said opposite surfaces to produce a second chemical product on both surfaces of the cathode electrode in operation, said anolyte and catholyte chambers each including an entrance and exit; andb) at least one unitary one piece double electrode plate having an electrically conducting frame, the anode electrode in one of said at least two cells being supported on a first portion of said electrically conducting frame, and the cathode electrode in one of the other of said at least two cells being supported on a second portion of said electrically conducting frame spaced from said first portion.
