Abstract
The proposed electrode unit of an electrolyzer for electrolysis of solutions of halogenides of alkali metals comprises a current-distribution support to which there is electrically coupled at least one open-work or perforated electrode member at whose working surfaces there is released gas in the course of the electrolysis of solutions of halogenides of alkali metals. The open-work or perforated electrode member is so arranged in relation to the current-distribution support that its working surfaces are at a certain angle to the vertical plane extending perpendicularly to the plane of the current-distribution support on the side of the electrode member.
