Method for manufacturing an electrolytic cell for use in an electrolysis process and electrolytic cell

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrolytic cell for a process for electrowinning or electrorefining of metals and to an electrolytic cell. The invention also relates to an electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell comprises a container unit (1) having an inner space limited by a bottom (2), a first side wall (3), a second side wall (5), a first end wall (7), and a second end wall (9). The electrolytic cell comprises a support member (11) designed and dimensioned to extend between the first end wall (7) of the container unit (1) and the second end wall (9) of the container unit (1) to divide the inner space of the container unit (1) into a first part (12) for receiving a first row of anodes and cathodes (20) in alternating order and into a second part (13) for receiving a second row of anodes and cathodes in alternating order.
