The invention provides an ion exchange membrane electrolyzer ensuring a satisfactory circulation of electrolyte, high electrolytic efficiency and great ridigity. An anode chamber partition in a flat sheet form is joined to a cathode chamber partition in a flat sheet form. An electrode retainer member in a sheet form is joined to at least one partition at a belt-like junction. A projecting strip with an electrode joined thereto is located between adjacent junctions. A space on an electrode surface side of the electrode retainer member defines a path through which a fluid goes up in the electrode chamber, and a space that spaces away from the space defines a path through which an electrolyte separated from a gas at a top portion of the electrode goes down.
An ion exchange membrane electrolyzer, wherein:
The ion exchange membrane electrolyzer according to clam 8, wherein the projecting strip having the largest amount of displacement is joined with the electrode via a protective member for the projecting strip, wherein an amount of displacement of said protective member upon the electrode coming into contact with a projecting strip near to a junction is given by a maximum angle of opening of the projecting strip.
