The present method relates to a method and a cell for electrolytic produc tion of zinc from a salt melt comprising zinc chloride. The cell has at leas t one electrolysis chamber (2) containing an electrolyte and at least one ad jacent chamber (1 ) separated from said electrolyisis chamber by means of at least one partition wall (7, 8). The atmosphere(s) in the electrolysis cham ber(s) is separated from the atmosphere(s) in the adjacent chamber(s) by the at least one partition wall. The electrolyte is directed to flow between th e electrolysis chamber(s) and the adjacent chamber(s) through at least one o pening in or at the partition wall(s) below the level of the electrolyte lev el. The Zinc metal produced is collected in the bottom of the cell. The elec trolyte flow can be controlled in a substantial laminar manner.
