Abstract
Electrode attachment assemblies for electrolytic cells and electrolytic cells having one or more electrode attachment assemblies and the method of using the same are provided that comprise a carbon-containing electrode and one or more deformable attachment elements in direct or indirect contact with said carbon-containing electrode, wherein said one or more deformable attachment elements will deform at a stress lower than the stress that results in fracture of the carbon-containing electrode to accommodate the expansion of the carbon-containing electrode when in use.
Claims31
An electrode attachment assembly for an electrolytic cell comprising a carbon-containing electrode and one or more deformable attachment elements in direct or indirect contact with said carbon-containing electrode, wherein said one or more deformable attachment elements will deform at a stress lower than the stress that results in fracture of the carbon-containing electrode to accommodate the expansion of the carbon-containing electrode when in use, wherein the one or more deformable elements comprise fully annealed copper.
