Abstract: | This paper deals with the theoretical potential distribution within a flow-by parallelepipedic porous electrode operating in limiting current conditions in a two-compartment electrolytic cell. The model takes into account the influence of the counter-electrode polarization and of the separator ohmic resistance. The results show that the design of the porous electrode requires the knowledge of the solution potential distribution within the whole cell volume.Nomenclature
