OSTI ID:4164337

A massive, compact type of Th metal deposit was prepared by electrolysis from fused salts. The electrolyte was a mixture 0.4 N ThF/sub 4/, 0.5 N CaF/sub 2/, and 0.1 N ZnF/sub 2/The operating temperature was 1100 tained C, and the current density 650 amp/square decimeter. The heat of the chemical reduction of thorium-salts by electrolytically deposited calcium caused an increase of the temperature of the melt above its melting temperature and the sublimation of zinc.
