    Abstract: A method for producing a metal by an electrolytic process using an yttria-containing porous ceramic body as a diaphragm is provided; the calcium formed by electrolysis cannot pass through the diaphragm, hence the back reaction can be effectively inhibited. Preferably, to be used is a diaphragm comprising a porous ceramic body having a purity of yttrium of 90 mass % or more (more preferably, 99% or more), a porosity of 1% or more and a pore diameter of 20 μm or less, and having a thickness of 0.05-50 mm and a metal halide is used as the electrolytic bath. The method can be utilized for producing metals such as calcium or rare earth elements, in particular. For example, when the method is applied to the production of calcium, metallic calcium can be produced with ease and at low cost without the need for enormous heat energy.

    Abstract: In a process for the electrolytic production of magnesium by the molten salt electrolysis of magnesium chloride using a molten salt cell bath comprised mainly of one or more salts selected from alkali metal chlorides and alkaline earth metal chlorides, the molten salt bath is enriched with magnesium chloride by suspending a magnesium oxide and/or magnesium carbonate powder to form a molten suspension and passing a chlorine-containing gas through the molten suspension at a temperature of 600.degree.-900.degree. C. so as to react the suspended powder with chlorine to form magnesium chloride. The resulting molten salt enriched with magnesium chloride can be directly introduced into the cell for electrolysis, thereby eliminating moisture absorption by the highly hygroscopic magnesium chloride. A pure magnesium can be produced with a high yield and improved current efficiency.
