Morris, G J.E.; Newton, H G

A circular structural frame is described with spherical anolyte and catholyte surfaces adapted for use between electrochemical cells comprising: (a) a cell barrier member having two opposite surfaces wherein the surfaces are generally spherical anolyte and catholyte surfaces for adjacent electrochemical cells having anodes and cathodes therein; (b) at least one electrically conductive insert extending from the catholyte surface of the barrier member through the barrier member, and to the anolyte surface of the barrier member, wherein the barrier member supports the insert; (c) an electrically conductive, substantially completely hydraulically impermeable anolyte cover resistant to the corrosive effects of the anolyte matingly contacted with the anolyte surface of the barrier member and adapted to minimize contact between the anolyte and the barrier member within a first cell; and (d) an electrically conductive, substantially completely hydraulically impermeable catholyte cover resistant to the corrosive effects of the catholyte matingly contacted with the catholyte surface of the barrier member and adapted to minimize contact between the catholyte and the barrier member within a second cell.
