Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALUMINIUM MAKING BY FUSED SALT ELECTROLYSIS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS52138414
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Process and device for obtaining aluminum by means of electrolysis in molten metal; inside an electrolytic cell, with anodes that are submerged in the casting and with cathodic bars that are arranged in front of these anodes with a certain distance, serving in this case as a cathode to the aluminum that has been segregated between these cathodic bars and the anodes; characterized in that between the melting mass and the cathode, respectively, on the one hand, as well as the cathodic bars, on the other hand, the electrical conductivity from the center of the electrolytic cell is reduced in such a way towards the edge thereof cell that by the cathodic bar and approximately over the entire width of the electrolytic cell impinges thanks to the aluminum that has been obtained and that has been segregated, respectively the same current density for each unit of surface.
