DEFINITION

Classification: 205/529

Purifying the cathode:

(under subclass 527) Subject matter wherein the mercury or amalgam cathode is purified.

(1) Note. This subclass includes treating the amalgamated mercury cathode with water or other agent to generate the hydroxide when combined with the electrolytic synthesis step of producing the amalgam even though no electrolytic action is claimed for the amalgamated mercury treatment step.
