Fig. 2.32 The FM21 SP Electrolyser. (a) The overall construction, (b) A single electrode, which has a nominal projected area of 0.21 on each face. The photograph shows the electrolyte ports and the current feeder busbar. A symmetrical lantern blade electrode is shown complete with its compression-moulded gasket, (c) An assembled, multi-electrode reactor, showing the electrolyte manifolds and the end plate. The electrolyser unit is capable of taking up to 60 electrode pairs, which would provide a projected cathode or anode area of up to 25 m. A double-pack version utilizes a central plate extending, the capacity to a maximum of 120 electrodes (50 m ). The construction of FM21 electrolysers for chloralkali production is considered in Chapter 3. (Photographs supplied by ICI Chemicals and Polymers Ltd.)...
