An electrolytic cell comprising an outer conduit electrode structure and an inner electrode structure comprising a series of sheet-like elements extending longitudinally within the outer electrode structure. The cell is adapted to have a fluid electrolyte flow through it along the series of inner electrode elements. Each sheet-like element is curved to turn the direction of fluid flow by being arranged in alternating right- and left-handed curvature groups (a group consisting of one or more elem...
