Patent ID: 7833390

Claim:
An electrolyzer comprising: a housing including a space formed therein for receiving an electrolytic solution to be electrolyzed, and a cathode plate and an anode plate disposed in said space of said housing and disposed horizontally and arranged one above the other, and spaced from each other for forming a gap between said anode plate and said cathode plate, and arranged for guiding the electrolytic solution to flow radially through said gap formed between said anode plate and said cathode plate, and said cathode plate being provided for attracting catholyte of the electrolytic solution toward said cathode plate, and said anode plate being provided for attracting anolyte of the electrolytic solution toward said anode plate, and for allowing the anolyte and the catholyte to be separated from each other, and said anode plate and said cathode plate including an outer peripheral portion spaced away from each other for decreasing a flowing speed of the electrolytic solution.
