Dimensionally Stable Anode For Electrolysis, Method For Maintaining Dimensions Of Anode During Electrolysis
view source
US Patent:

6375813, Apr 23, 2002
Filed:

May 12, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/569538
Inventors:

John N. Hryn - Naperville IL
Michael J. Pellin - Naperville IL
Alan M. Wolsky - Downers Grove IL
Assignee:

University of Chicago - Chicago IL
International Classification:

C25B 1100
US Classification:

20429001, 2042431, 204245, 205404
Abstract:

A dimensionally stable electrode is provided comprising a hollow substrate with an open upper end for confining a fluid containing a metal, a film covering portions of the external surface; and a mechanism for replenishing the film. Also provided is a method for maintaining the dimensions of an anode during electrolysis comprising adapting an interior surface of the anode to receive a fluid containing a metal, facilitating transport of the metal to an exterior surface of the anode, forming a protective film on the exterior surface, wherein the transported metal is a cation of the formed protective film, and maintaining the protective film on the exterior surface while the anode is in use.
