Electrolysis cell consisting of 2 monopolar electrodes and one or more
intermediate bipolar electrodes, where
the one monopolar electrode and the parts of the bipolar electrodes charged
in the same sense thereto together form the working electrode and the
other monopolar electrode and the parts of the bipolar electrodes charged
in the same sense thereto together form the counter electrode
the space between counter and working electrode is undivided
the surface of the counter electrode consists of electrochemically active
and inactive parts
the sum of the electrochemically active parts of the surface of the counter
electrode is smaller by a large amount than that of the electrochemically
active parts of the surface of the working electrode.
