Electrorefining Beryllium: Two-Cycle Electrolysis
- Bureau of Mines, Boulder City, NV (United States). Boulder City Metallurgy Research Lab.
To obtain beryllium metal of higher purity, flakes produced from electrorefining scrap metal were used as cell feed for a second cycle of electrorefining at 500° C in an electrolyte composed of 51.7 mole-percent LiCl, 36.9 mole-percent KCl, and 11.4 mole-percent BeCl2 . Metallic impurities in the flakes totaled more than 108 ppm, the metallic impurities in the metal obtained from the two-cycle electrorefining were, with the exception of 35 ppm of calcium, below the spectrographic determination limits.
