    摘要: A system for generating a chlorine-containing mixture comprises an anodic chamber comprising an anodic electrode and having an inlet for a first solution and an outlet for an anolyte solution. A cathodic chamber is spaced from and adjacent the anodic chamber in the system. The cathodic chamber comprises a cathodic electrode and has an inlet for a second solution and an outlet for a catholyte solution. The second solution may be the same as or different from the first solution, and at least one of the first and second solutions comprises a chlorinated solution. A membrane is disposed between and separates the anodic chamber and the cathodic chamber. The system further comprises a dilution chamber having an inlet for an aqueous solution and an outlet. Finally, the system comprises a mixing chamber, which has an outlet for the chlorine-containing mixture. The outlet of the dilution chamber is in fluid communication with the mixing chamber. Chlorine gas is generated in the anodic chamber along with the anolyte solution and at least the chlorine gas is combined with the aqueous solution in the mixing chamber. The system allows for a free available chlorine (FAC) value of the chlorine-containing mixture to be selectively controlled.

    摘要: An electrolyzer including an electrolysis stack containing a plurality of panel-like electrolysis cells in a side-by-side arrangement and being electrically interconnected in series, wherein each electrolysis cell comprises an anode chamber with an anode arranged therein and a cathode chamber with a cathode arranged therein, wherein the anode chamber and the cathode chamber are separated from one another by a sheet-like separator. The electrolyzer having means for mechanically securing the electrical interconnection of the electrolysis stack. The stack contains at least two multi-cell elements, each including a plurality of the electrolysis cells and mechanical compression means, wherein the electrolysis cells of each multi-cell element are held together in a sealed manner by the mechanical compression means and wherein the means are configured to mechanically secure the electrical interconnection of the multi-cell elements.

    摘要: A compression apparatus includes at least one compression unit, an anode end plate provided on an anode separator, a cathode end plate provided on a cathode separator, and a plate-like member. The compression apparatus causes, by using the voltage applier to apply a voltage, protons taken out from an anode fluid that is supplied to the anode to move to the cathode via the electrolyte membrane and generates compressed hydrogen. The plate-like member is provided with a recess in which to store the compressed hydrogen and a groove portion that surrounds an outer periphery of the recess. The groove portion is provided with a seal material and a ring material that is adjacent to an outer edge of the seal material and that surrounds the seal material. An outer peripheral surface of the groove portion and an outer peripheral surface of the ring material are both provided with gradients so as to become wider toward an opening of the groove portion.

    摘要: An electrolysis device of an embodiment includes: an electrolysis cell including a a porous cathode in contact with one surface of a diaphragm, an anode in contact with the other surface of the diaphragm, a cathode flow path in contact with the porous cathode, and an anode flow path in contact with the anode; a first supply part supplying the cathode flow path with a gas containing a substance to be reduced; and a second supply part supplying the anode flow path with an electrolysis solution. The cathode flow path has a first area including a gas flow path of a continuous structure that has a first gas inlet connected to the first supply part, and a first gas outlet, and a second area including a gas flow path of an interrupted structure that has a second gas inlet connected to the first gas outlet, and a second gas outlet.
