Patent ID: 8298383

Claim:
A cylindrical membranous electrolytic cell comprises: a coaxial anode, a diaphragm and a cathode, wherein the anode serves as an external electrode while the cathode serves as an internal electrode, and wherein the anode and the diaphragm are assembled from cylindrical parts in axial alignment by cooperating sleeves; wherein placement of the anode, diaphragm and cathode is defined by their respective mounting in covers that are also used for electrolyte input and output of electrolysis products, for isolating an anode chamber from a cathode chamber and sealing the electrolytic cell as a whole; wherein the cathode with terminals is solid; wherein the number of cylindrical parts of the diaphragm is equal to the number of cylindrical parts of the anode; wherein the number of cooperating sleeves is less than the number of cylindrical parts of the anode by one; wherein each cylindrical part of the anode has at least one terminal; and wherein the cathode has at least two terminals, at least one terminal positioned on each side of the cathode.
