OSTI ID:4216616
Laboratory-scale scoping tests on the fused salt electrolytic reduction of magnesium fluoride (MgF/sub 2/) have been completed Magnesium metal of high purity was produced. The electrolytes were: 55 m/o MgF/sub 2/-45 m/o CaF/sub 2/ and 27.9 m/o MgF/sub 2/-13.1 m/o CaF/sub 2/-59.0 m/o LiF. The operating temperatures were 980 deg C (1800 deg F) and 710 deg C (1310 deg F), respectively. The reduction was accompanied by the evolution of fluorine gas. Concentration of the uranium values in the lower region of the electrolyte was noted. (auth)
