Laboratory porous flow-through electrode reactor with interchangeable electrodes

The construction and design of a laboratory flow cell with easily interchangeable electrodes is described. A diagram of the general geometry of a flow-through porous electrode cell is shown. In this cell the electrodes are positioned adjacent to each other in such a way that current flows nearly perpendicular to electrolyte flow. The authors have used two types of porous carbons as electrodes, Reticulated Vitreous Carbon and carbon felt.
