Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0043945A1] Disengaging gas from a gas-entrained electrolyte produced in an electroiytic cell (60) for the electrolysis of brines is accomplished in an apparatus which comprises a sealed container (56) having at least one inlet (42) for discharging the gas-entrained electrolyte from the electrolytic cell (60) against a disengaging means (48). The disengaging means (48) imparts a centrifugal force to the discharged gas-entrained electrolyte to separate a gas from a gas-disengaged electrolyte while minimizing contact between the separated gas and the gas-disengaged electrolyte to substantially prevent re-entrainment of the gas by the electrolyte.
