ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a metal in an electrolysis cell comprising an anode, a carbon cathode, and a chamber containing a metal oxide dissolved in a molten salt bath, said method comprising: coating an outer surface portion of the cathode with a coating composition consisting of a refractory metal, a paint comprising an organic polymeric binder, and aluminum powder, and optionally an organic solvent and an oil; and optionally a boron source; curing the coating composition by heating it to an elevated temperature, producing an aluminum-wettable coating on the cathode outer surface portion; and electrolyzing the metal oxide to a metal bypassing an electric current in the molten salt bath between the anode and the coated cathode.
