METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALKALI METAL BY LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTROLYSIS PROCESS AND ELECTROLYTIC SOLUTION COMPOSITION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolysis process for manufacturing an alkali metal and an electrolytic solution therefor. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the alkali metal is distinguished by containing a step for electrolyzing an alkali metal halide in the presence of (1) a nitrogen compound or a phosphor compound and one kind or several kinds of compounds optionally selected from group IB halide, group IIIA halide and group VIII halide or (2) group IIIA halide, group VB halide or combination of group IIIA halide and group V B halide or (3) a coelectrolyte as water.
