Production of anhydrous aluminum chloride composition and process for electrolysis thereof

Patent Vandegrift, George F [Bolingbrook, Naperville, IL]; Krumpelt, Michael [Naperville, IL]; Horwitz, E Philip [Hinsdale, IL]

A process for producing an anhydrous aluminum chloride composition from a water-based aluminous material such as a slurry of aluminum hydroxide in a multistage extraction process in which the aluminum ion is first extracted into an organic liquid containing an acidic extractant and then extracted from the organic phase into an alkali metal chloride or chlorides to form a melt containing a mixture of chlorides of alkali metal and aluminum. In the process, the organic liquid may be recycled. In addition, the process advantageously includes an electrolysis cell for producing metallic aluminum and the alkali metal chloride or chlorides maymore »« less

Production of aluminum metal by electrolysis of aluminum sulfide

Patent Minh, N Q; Loutfy, R O; Yao, N P

Metallic aluminum may be produced by the electrolysis of Al/sub 2/S/sub 3/ at 700 to 800/sup 0/C in a chloride melt composed of one or more alkali metal chlorides, and one or more alkaline earth metal chlorides and/or aluminum chloride to provide improved operating characteristics of the process.
Inert anode containing base metal and noble metal useful for the electrolytic production of aluminum

Patent Ray, Siba P [Murrysville, PA]; Liu, Xinghua [Monroeville, PA]

An inert anode for production of metals such as aluminum is disclosed. The inert anode comprises a base metal selected from Cu and Ag, and at least one noble metal selected from Ag, Pd, Pt, Au, Rh, Ru, Ir and Os. The inert anode may optionally be formed of sintered particles having interior portions containing more base metal than noble metal and exterior portions containing more noble metal than base metal. In a preferred embodiment, the base metal comprises Cu, and the noble metal comprises Ag, Pd or a combination thereof.

Process of electrolysis and fractional crystallization for aluminum purification

Patent Dawless, Robert K [Monroeville, PA]; Bowman, Kenneth A [Leechburg, PA]; Mazgaj, Robert M [Lower Burrell, PA]; ...

A method for purifying aluminum that contains impurities, the method including the step of introducing such aluminum containing impurities to a charging and melting chamber located in an electrolytic cell of the type having a porous diaphragm permeable by the electrolyte of the cell and impermeable to molten aluminum. The method includes further the steps of supplying impure aluminum from the chamber to the anode area of the cell and electrolytically transferring aluminum from the anode area to the cathode through the diaphragm while leaving impurities in the anode area, thereby purifying the aluminum introduced into the chamber. The methodmore »« less
