Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0922789A1] An oxygen reduction cathode type membrane electrolysis cell is immobilized by filling the gas compartment with demineralized water of pH ≤ 7. A membrane electrolysis cell, with an oxygen reduction cathode, is immobilized by terminating current and oxygen supply to the cell, filling the emptied gas compartment with demineralized water of pH ≤ 7, rinsing the cathode with the demineralized water of the gas compartment until the pH equals that of the introduced water and keeping the gas compartment filled with the demineralized water throughout the immobilization period. Preferred Feature: The anodic compartment is emptied and refilled with clean anolyte of the same type and concentration and the soda compartment is emptied and refilled with a 0.5-5 mol/l caustic soda solution.
