摘要:
An electrolytic cell for reducing a beryllium oxide in solid state, and a method for achieving this reduction, are provided. The electrolytic cell and method employ an anode, a cathode formed in part from beryllium oxide, and a molten electrolyte which includes cations of a metal that is capable of reducing beryllium oxide. The reduction process involves operating the cell at a potential that is above a potential at which the reducing cations in the electrolyte will deposit as a metal on the cathode.
摘要:
An electrolytic refining method for gallium by depositing refined gallium on a cathode in an electrolytic solution using a melted raw gallium material as an anode in an electrolytic cell is disclosed, comprising applying a centrifugal force to the melted raw gallium material and discharging out a scum gathered in the central portion of the cell.
