Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrolytic cell (1) comprising an anodic end wall (6) and a cathodic end wall (5) facing each other and supporting alternately arranged plate-shaped anodes (8) and cathodes (10) extending substantially perpendicularly to said end walls. At least some of the anodes (8) and/or cathodes (10) cooperate with the opposite end wall (5,6) via electrically insulating spacer members (4), thus enabling compressive forces to be transmitted between the cell end walls (5,6). The invention also relates to an electrolyser comprising two or more cells (1) according to the invention. Further, the invention relates to a method of performing electrolyses.
