This work attempted to investigate the mechanism of the discharging of La/sup 3 +/ and Y/sup 3 +/ ions on a solid cathode in molten chlorides and to calculate the kinetic parameters of these processes by the main potentiostatic method. The theory of the method was outlined in rather great detail in the literature. Results indicated that on the whole, the kinetic rate constants of the electrode processes are rather large, which permits these reactions to be considered as quasi-reversible.
