The cathodic processes in the electrorefining of molybdenum from a fused chloride bath were studied. The results show that the best refining efficiency was obtained by operating the baths at 900 d C and with current densities of 3 to 30 amp per dm/sup 2/. Temperature was found to be the most critical variable. The effects of stannous chloride, ferrous chloride, silica, sodium fluosilicate, cuprous chloride, and nickel chloride upon the cathode deposit were determined. (auth)
