Questions about Electrolysis Systems: 1. How does the rotary shaft contribute to the overall functionality of the electrolysis system? The rotary shaft provides support and allows for the rotation of the electrolysis cell, ensuring uniform product generation. 2. What are the key advantages of using flow path plates in an electrolysis system? Flow path plates help control the flow of fluids containing materials to be oxidized or reduced, enhancing the efficiency of the electrolysis process.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electrolysis system includes: an electrolysis cell having an anode to oxidize an oxidizable material to produce an anode product, a cathode to reduce a reducible material to produce a cathode product, a diaphragm between the anode and the cathode, a first flow path plate having an anode flow path facing on the anode and through which an anode fluid containing the oxidizable material flows, and a second flow path plate having a cathode flow path facing on the cathode and through which a cathode fluid containing the reducible material flows, the anode, the cathode, the diaphragm, the first flow path, and the second flow path being stacked in a first direction; a rotary shaft disposed on the opposite side of the cathode from the diaphragm and extending along a second direction; and a driving device to rotate the electrolysis cell around the rotary shaft.
