APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS SEPARATION OF METALS FROM WASTE ALLOY electrolysis in molten salts

摘要

FIELD: metallurgy.;SUBSTANCE: electrolyser for separation of low-melting alloys by means of electrolysis in molten salts into selective concentrates includes a bath, cathode and anode heated cavities divided at least with three porous vertical membranes saturated with electrolyte, which in their turn are separated with annular gaskets with cutouts for formation of metal drain channels to individual collectors of selective concentrates; with that, the anode cavity is formed with a bath wall, an anode gasket and a membrane. The anode gasket is equipped with a central partition wall; in the anode cavity there arranged is a "П"-shaped partition wall providing formation in the lower part together with anode gasket of siphon openings for overflow of anode alloy. The side wall of the anode gasket is equipped with an inclined anode alloy drain channel.;EFFECT: providing drainage of separated concentrates in a continuous mode, as well as providing possible replacement of anode alloy in the continuous mode.;2 dwg
