IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO THE ELECTRODEPOSITION OF BERYLLIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4210706
Electrodeposition of Be from fused salt baths at lower temperatures is described. To a bath of 60 mol.% BeCl/sub 2/ nnd 40 mol. % KCl in a stainless steel vessel at 450 C is added 3 wt. % BeS. The Be can then be plated out with a graphite anode and a Ni cathode at 240 amp. per sq. ft. and 3.2 volts. The BeS makes operation more efficient, lower temperatures possible, and halogen evolution lower. (T.R.H.)
