Abstract: 22,050. Strohmenger, A. P. Sept. 30. Liquids, treating; electrodes. - Water is forced under a pressure of at least 5 lb. per sq. in. through a pipe a serving as cathode and containing a co-axial anode rod c of a metal, such as aluminium, which gives an hydroxide acting as a coagulant. The anode, which may be carried by a removable segment of the pipe, is preferably only slightly smaller than the bore of the pipe. The production of hydroxide varies automatically with the conductivity, and therefcre with the impurity, of the water, and also with the rate of flow, in consequence of the cleaning action on the anode.
