An electrolytic cell comprised of a tank for holding electrolytic solution, and a drum rotatable about a horizontal axis having a non-conductive cylindrical outer surface disposed within the tank, and a plurality of elongated, like anodes arranged about the outer surface of the drum. The anodes together form a generally continuous cylindrical surface spaced from, and generally conforming to, the outer surface of the drum. Each of the anodes has at least one end projecting through the tank. A plurality of power sources is provided together with connection means for connecting groups of one or more of the projecting ends of the anodes to each power source.

[ Having described the invention, the following is claimed:] [1.] An electrolytic cell, comprised of:a tank for holding electrolytic solution;a drum disposed within said tank rotatable about a horizontal axis, said drum having a non-conductive cylindrical outer surface;a plurality of elongated anodes, each of said anodes having a generally uniform prismatic transverse cross-section having at least one planar, active anode surface, said anodes being formed from a titanium-copper co-extrusion, wherein copper forms an inner core and titanium forms an outer casing enclosing said copper inner core, said anodes extending into said tank parallel to the axis of said drum having at least one end projecting through said tank and being arranged about the outer surface of said drum to form a uniform gap therewith, the planar, active anode surfaces of said anodes being arranged together side-by-side to form a generally continuous cylindrical surface spaced from and conforming to said non-conductive cylindrical outer surface of said drum;a plurality of power sources; andconnection means for connecting groups of one or more of said projecting ends of adjacent anodes to each power source, wherein said power source is electrically connected to said inner core of said anodes.
