ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to electrolytically produce multivalent metals, such as titanium, from compounds thereof. The apparatus includes a suitable containing body with an anode and a cathode in compartments therein spaced apart by a foraminous metallic diaphragm. The diaphragm has a diaphragm coefficient of greater than zero to about 0.5 when the coefficient of flow is about 0.1 to about 25. A multivalent metal compound feed means is combined with the cathode compartment to supply a multivalent metal compound to a molten salt electrolyte in the cathode compartment. The apparatus is sealed from the atmosphere to avoid contamination of the bath and metal product with certain atmospheric gases. Means of providing sufficient electrical and thermal energy to operate the cell are provided.
