Nelson cell : It is an electrolytic cell , which is used commonly in electrolytic processes like production of sodium hydroxide from brine solution.

In the cell, there is a U shaped perforated steel tube, which has asbestos coating in its inner surface. In the cell, Carbon is taken as cathode and the upper roof of the cell acts as anode and the two electrodes are separated by the asbestus coating. Here, the brine (NaCl) solution acts as electrolyte.
