Estimating the term…
An electrode is disclosed having a coating on part of the electrode, e.g., a front face, comprising the oxides of tin, antimony, at least one platinum group metal and at least one valve metal. Another part of the electrode, such as a back face, has a coating comprising the oxides of at least one valve metal and at least one platinum group metal. The electrode can be generally plate-shaped and most desirably has at least one chamfered corner. The electrode is particularly useful in a cell wherein brine electrolyte is electrolyzed to prepare a disinfectant solution containing hypochlorite. The disinfectant solution can be especially serviceable, such as in maritime application, for treating water, e.g., freshwater as represented by desalinated water.
In an electrolytic cell comprising a housing for containing a plurality of electrodes maintained in parallel manner to one another and spaced apart from each other, which electrodes are secured within the interior of said housing, wherein liquid electrolyte distributed to said cell passes through said housing and through the spacings between said electrodes, the improvement comprising:
