Benefits of technology

[0030] A step at Stage 1, cell analysis, is to ascertain whether or not the cell is amenable to increasing its limiting current density beyond the demonstrable level attainable by mechanical stirring at a rate producing a result equivalent to that of the magnetic enhancement means already built into the cell. If mechanical stirring faster than this rate produces a further increase of limiting current density, then the cell meets a criterion of being amenable to improving its magnetic enhancement effect without changing its given magnetic field producing means, but instead by implementing addition of selected paramagnetic ions to the cell's electrolyte solution, in the specified manner arrived at in light of combined information acquir

Embodiment Construction

[0042] With reference first to the FIG. 1 block chart, it assists fixing ideas so as to procure systematization of—without necessarily imposing a chronological sequence upon—definite method steps set forth to enable artisans of an appropriate level of skill, in the area of practical magnetoelectrolysis, to both extend the range of particular electrochemical cells to which this new paramagnetic additive method for optimizing magnetically convectable aqueous electrolyte solutions will be known to apply, and extend the range of inorganic paramagnetic chemicals likely to be at once envisaged, and specifically named, as desirably used additives for practicing the method.

[0043] Stage 1, cell analysis, encompasses acquiring confirmation of qualifying and informative basic matters that should not be neglected when contemplating changing the electrolyte solution design for a given magnetically enhanced cell.

Abstract

Magnetoelectrolysis cells known to operate successfully without utilizing a non-electrogenerated paramagnetic additive added to an aqueous electrolyte solution of such a cell may in some instances be further enhanced by utilizing such an additive. However, excessive amounts of additive are impracticable and formerly proposed transition metal salts used as paramagnetic additives were never demonstrated as effective except when used in large amounts. Now it is disclosed that small amounts of a salt of a paramagnetic lanthanide solve the problem, if methodically applied to enhancing the magnetoelectrolysis cell in accordance with the specified steps of the invention.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] This invention relates, in general, to utilizing selected chemical additives in fluid electrolyte solutions of electrochemical cells exemplified by types described hereinafter, for the purpose, primarily, though not necessarily exclusively, of initiating and / or increasing a measurable extent of beneficial fluid convection. [0003] More particularly, what is taught and claimed below as new is an improved method of utilizing non-electrogenerated paramagnetic species of inorganic solutes as solution-improving additives added to aqueous electrolyte solutions of electrochemical cells, preexistently designed to operate more effectively, than otherwise, when a suitably strong external magnetic field of permanent magnet or electromagnet origin projects within a volume containing an aqueous electrolyte solution between an anode and a cathode. [0004] Known from background art are several cells made to utilize magnetic phenomena, incl...
