The Coke Oven Battery. A Coke Oven Battery consisted of a great many ovens, sometimes hundreds of ovens, in a row. Some mines also employed parallel batteries as in the illustration. Salem Mine No.1 Coke Works, Salemville, PA, used three banks of single ovens, containing 280 bee-hive coke ovens.
Differences Between Voltaic and Electrolytic Cells. -Voltaic cells use spontaneous reactions to produce energy-Electrolytic cells use non-spontaneous reactions that requires energy-Voltaic cells have a negative anode and a positive cathode-Electrolytic cells have a positive anode and a negative cathode.
The important parts of a voltaic cell: 1  The anode is an electrode where oxidation occurs. 2  The cathode is an electrode where reduction occurs. 3  A salt bridge is a chamber of electrolytes necessary to complete the circuit in a voltaic cell.  The oxidation and reduction reactions are separated into compartments called half-cells.
