Abstract
The design and construction of a vertically stacked bipolar electrode cell for electrowinning of liquid magnesium from chloride melts were d escribed. Laboratory-scale electrolysis was carried out with the cell at 50 A for seven hours at about 750 degrees C, and the cell construct ion was investigated in terms of the separation of magnesium particles from the flow of chlorine gas and the chloride melt circulating in th e cell. The experimental results were discussed by using the net curre nt efficiency which was concerned with the electrochemical reaction an d/or chemical reaction.
