Method of assembling a filter press type electrolytic cell

Abstract

A method of assembling an electrolytic cell of the filter press type comprising a plurality of anodes, cathodes, gaskets of an electrically insulating material, and separators, in which the electrolytic cell is assembled on a jig comprising a support unit having removably affixed thereto a plurality of substantially horizontally disposed support members positioned to at least one side of said unit, and preferably to both sides of said unit, the method comprising positioning anodes, cathodes and gaskets on said horizontally disposed support members with a separator positioned between an adjacent anode and cathode, removing the support unit, and compressing the thus formed assembly of anodes, cathodes, gaskets and separators on the horizontally disposed support members to form the electrolytic cell.
