Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a gas diffusion electrode equipped ion exchange membrane electrolyzer including an anode, an ion exchange membrane, and a cathode chamber in which a gas diffusion electrode is disposed, wherein the ion exchange membrane and a cathode chamber inner space in which the gas diffusion electrode is disposed are separated by a liquid retaining member, the outer periphery of the liquid retaining member is held in a void formed in a gasket or a cathode chamber frame constituting the cathode chamber, or the outer periphery and the end face of the outer periphery of the liquid retaining member are sealed, or the outer periphery of the liquid retaining member is joined to and integrated with the gasket.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas diffusion electrode equipped ion exchange membrane electrolyzer comprising: an anode in an anode chamber wherein the anode chamber comprises an anolyte; a cathode chamber having an inner space defined by a cathode chamber wall; a gas diffusion electrode disposed at least in part in the cathode chamber; an ion exchange membrane disposed at least in part between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber; a liquid retaining member separating…
