Abstract

Diaphragms of deposited asbestos which are consolidated by a polymer are prepared by the steps of dispersing a polymer emulsion into asbestos fibers dispersed in an aqueous solution of a cellulose ether or a high molecular weight polyether polyol, depositing the asbestos fiber slurry on a metal screen cathode by means of filtration, and drying the deposited asbestos fibers. The asbestos fibers are deposited evenly on a cathode of commercial size and the diaphragms are consolidated satisfactorily by the polymer.
