This lesson looks into how molten ionic compounds can be electrolyzed. It also provides an understanding on how metals such as aluminum and sodium can be extracted from molten compounds using electrolysis. Electrolysis and Ionic Compounds Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth. But did you ...
Current efficiency with respect to the amount of sodium forming a liquid alloy has been studied in the course of electrolysis of molten NaCl at the liquid Pb cathode. The composition of the alloy was determined during the electrolysis by a potentiometric method. Analysis of the results obtained ...
These systems are involved as solvent in a number of metallurgical processes based on electrolysis, as in the industry of aluminium and refractory metals such as niobium and tantalum. They are again the solvent in the pyrochemical extracting processes for nuclear waste treatments: from the ...
During the electrolysis of molten aluminum chloride in an electrolytic cell, 5.40 g of aluminum is produced at the cathode. Predict the mass of chlorine produced at the anode. Consider the reaction below: Fe (s) + Cu2+ (aq) \rightarrow Cu (s) + Fe2+ ...
Because ZnO is far easier to dissolve than Z nFe2O4 in acid or alkali solutions, metallic Zn can be obtained after leaching and electrolysis [18, 19]. The most significant advantage of this technology is that carbothermic reduction is no longer necessary. However, the slow solid-state ...
ChemicalsHigh-purity anhydrous gaseous chlorine was pro-duced by electrolysis of molten PbCl2(99.5) placedin a quartz tube. A carbon rod and a molybdenumwire shielded by a quartz tube were used as anode andcathode, respectively. Gaseous chlorine was passedthrough mineral wool and bubbled through...

This paper is concerned with oxygen depolarized electrolysis of NaCl by the use of 尾 -alumina solid electrolyte and molten salts. In the electrolysis, dry chlorine gas and pure molten sodium hydroxide are produced from sodium chloride, oxygen and water. Because the oxygen reduction proceeds very ...
Molecules with 2, 5 and 6 chloride atoms can exist within the reactor core section in very small quantities, so they can be ignored—the bulk properties of the molten chloride fuel are dominated by the mono-chlorides, tri-chlorides, and tetra-chlorides (see Equation (1), which indicates a...
