OSTI ID:4194220
A fusion electrolysis process for production of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, and W from their chlorides is presented. In an example of the process, equal weights of NaF and NaCl were fused and 3.65 parts of TaCl/sub 5/ are added. Electrolysis at 4 v and 90 amp for 4.65 hr gave 0.992 parts of Ta. More TaCl/sub 5/ was added and electrolysis continued at slightly higher voltages and currents. The cathode was changed as necessary. Thus the process is semicontinuous. Other examples are given for Nb and Ti. (T.R.H.)
