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.
Electrolytic vs Galvanic Cells. Electrolytic and galvanic cells are two types of electrochemical cells. In both electrolytic and galvanic cells, oxidation-reduction reactions are taking place. In a cell, there are two electrodes called an anode and a cathode. Oxidation reaction takes place on the anode, and the reduction reaction takes place on the cathode. Electrodes are immersed in separate electrolyte solutions.
