Figure 4.2 A chloralkali membrane cell. The multiplate cathode and anode are louvered as shown to deflect gas bubbles away from the membrane. The bubbles of hydrogen

and chlorine become entrained in their respective solution streams, from which they are subsequently separated. Some of the sodium hydroxide produced in the electrolysis is

diluted and recycled.

Figure 4.3 The electrolysis of water produces oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode. Ions from an electrolyte are necessary to provide conductivity but these play no

role in the electrode reactions.
