Abstract

The invention discloses a rare earth molten salt electrolytic cell with a novel electrode structure. The bottoms of anodes are in the shape of inverted V or single slope; a group of cathodes is correspondingly arranged below each group of anodes; the cathodes are embedded into a raised high-temperature anti-corrosion material; the tops of the cathodes are of triangular prisms, and are protruded to the outside of the high-temperature anti-corrosion material; a metal groove formed by sinking the high-temperature anti-corrosion material is arranged between every two cathodes; cathode steel rods are positioned on the bottoms of the cathodes, and are connected to the cathodes; and an unloader is arranged on the top of an electrolytic cell body. According to the rare earth molten salt electrolytic cell disclosed by the invention, the shapes of the anodes are beneficial for anode bubble discharge; the high-temperature zone of the electrolytic cell is moved upwards as a result of the designs of the cathodes and the metal grooves; the secondary reaction of rare earth metal is restrained; and the current efficiency is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of rare earth molten salt electrolysis, and specifically relates to a rare earth molten salt electrolytic cell with a novel electrode structure. Background technique [0002] At present, the upper opening of the electrolytic cell for industrial production of rare earth metals is open, and the cathode and anode are cylindrically arranged in parallel and vertical. This structure leads to low production efficiency of the current rare earth metal electrolysis, serious environmental pollution, large fluctuations in process parameters, and difficulty in achieving large-scale and automation, which seriously hinders the further development of rare earth electrolysis technology. Studies have shown that the current structure of the rare earth molten salt electrolytic cell body open radiation heat dissipation accounted for 44.5% of the total heat expenditure, resulting in the electrolytic cell having to use high voltage to maintain t...
