Abstract (en)

[origin: US4557818A] A gas-evolving metal electrode consists of profiles which are arranged parallel to one another in a horizontal plane and are connected to one another by means of current distributors. The profile surfaces which face the counter-electrode are curved, the curvature at the sides being more pronounced than that in the middle. The profile is terminated above by means of two lateral surfaces tangential to the curvature. The electrode is useful as an anode for mercury cells for the chloralkali electrolysis.
