An electrolyzer is a vessel (or system of vessels) filled with an electrolyte, in which electrodesâa cathode and anodeâhave been placed; the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the direct-current source and the anode is connected to the positive pole.
Electrolysis is the process where an electric current is passed through a liquid that conducts electricity. A liquid will only conduct electricity if it contains ions. The electrodes are often made from graphite.The liquid that conducts electricity is called the electrolyte.The amount of electricity needed to produce a particular mass of metal (or non-metal) can be calculated. The negative electrode, called the cathode, will attract positively charged metal ions.The metal ions collect electrons from the cathode (this is called reduction) and are discharged as metal atoms. The positive electrode, called the anode, will attract negatively charged non-metal ions.he liquid that conducts electricity is called the electrolyte.
