Electrode assembly for molten metal production from molten electrolytes

摘要: An improved electrode assembly is disclosed for use in electrolytic cells producing metal by the electrolysis of a molten-salt electrolyte. The includes at least one anode and cathode disposed within an cell spaced-relationship to thereby define inter-electrode space effective electrolyte bath area. parallel, opposed sides defining have offset, sawtooth pattern triangular peaks valleys increase surface area facilitate rapid, removal gas produced during from inter-electrode, To further such gases, present invention uniformly distributed plurality evacuation apertures therethrough.
