METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF METALLIC BERYLLIUM
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4257175
A process and apparatus for continuous electrolytic production of Be without a pre-electrolysis are presented. The fused-salt electrolytic bath, consisting of 55% BeCl/sub 2/ and 45% NaCl, is contained in a large Ni tank at 350 to 375 C. The graphite anodes are suspended inslde the eathodes, Ni cylinders, open at the bottom and lined inside with graphite. The process is continuous in that the Be dendrites electrolytically formed on the graphite sleeve are knocked off by a disk lowered between the electrodes, fall to the bottom, and are scraped to a perforated bucket in a sump at one side of the tank and periodically lifted out of the tank. Such a unit is described which produced Be, without pre-electrolysis, of a purity which compared favorably with that produced conventionally. (T.R.H.)
