ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a molten salt electrolysis system comprising an electrolysis vessel (4) for holding a molten electrolytic bath containing a molten metal chloride and an electrode unit (1) to be immersed into the molten electrolytic bath. The electrode unit (1) comprises a conductive electrode (8), a first insulating member (9) fixed to the upper end of the electrode so as to cover the upper end face and extending upward therefrom, a second insulating member (10) fixed to the lower end of the electrode so as to cover the lower end face and extending downward therefrom, and an insulating electrode frame (12) surrounding the electrode. Also disclosed is a molten salt electrolysis method using such a system.
