ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new electrolysis cell for the fusion electrolytic extraction of aluminum wherein the anode blocks are connected to one another using a compressed granulate packing. The invention also relates to a novel electrolytic cell wherein the cathode blocks are separated one from another and have sloped or curved upper surfaces allowing newly formed aluminum to drain into an underlying receptacle area.
