Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018001637A1] The invention relates to an arrangement for the electrolysis of carbon dioxide and to a method for the operation thereof, comprising an electrolytic cell with an anode and a cathode, the anode and cathode being connected to a voltage supply, the cathode being a gas diffusion electrode and a gas chamber being connected to a first side of the cathode and a cathode chamber being connected to a second side of the cathode, also comprising an electrolytic circuit which is connected to the electrolytic cell, and a gas supply for supplying carbon dioxide-containing gas into the gas chamber, characterised in that the gas chamber comprises an outlet for the electrolyte and the electrolyte outlet comprising a blocking device which is designed such that the blocking device is opened when the difference in pressure between the gas chamber and the cathode chamber exceeds a threshold value.
