In production of chlorine by the diaphragm cell process, salt is dissolved in water and stored as a saturated solution.... The purified saturated brine is then fed to the cell which typically is a rectangular box. It uses vertical anodes... The cathode is perforated metal which supports the asbestos diaphragm.... The diaphragm serves to separate the anolyte(the feed brine) from the catholyte(brine containing caustic soda). Chlorine is evolved at the anode. 4, record 16, English, - diaphragm%20cell%20process

Electrolytic reduction(smelting) [of aluminum].(...) Carbon anodes are hung from above the cells with their lower ends extending to within about 1. 5 in.(3. 8 cm) of the molten metal, which forms a layer under the molten bath.(...) Current is led out of the cell to the anode bus bar by a number of carbon block anodes suspended in parallel rows on vertical conducting rods of copper or aluminum. Because impurities in the anodes dissolve in the bath as they are consumed, pure carbon(calcined petroleum coke or pitch coke) is used as raw material. 2, record 17, English, - carbon%20anode
