Abstract

An electrode arrangement for electrolytic purposes has a plurality of cathodes and one or a few anodes, so that an advantageous surface ratio between cathodes and anodes results. The cathodes, provided with openings, are embodied as plates and are arranged parallel at distances from each other, the cathodes being supported in a support device with an electrically insulating surface.
