Abstract
A process of diaphragmless electrolysis comprises providing an electrochemical cell having substantially parallel electrodes in the form of discs axially spaced from each other and connected for common rotation about their axis, one of the discs having means defining a central opening, causing common rotation of the electrodes, introducing matter to be electrolyzed through said central opening, adjusting the speed of rotation until the profile of velocity of effective radial flow between the discs shows a double-humped distribution, and applying a potential between the discs.
