Электролиз фторидно-хлоридных расплавов как метод получения цериевых РЗМ

Abstract

Electrode processes in LiCl –REEF3 (REE=La,Ce,Nd) melts were studied using different electrochemical techniques. It was shown that electrochemical properties of lithium and rare earths are close to each other thus resulting in cooperative reduction under relatively high current density. The chosen conditions were applied for electrolytic production of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium metals.
