ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus and method relating to the separation of a metal from its electrically dissociable molten salt by electrically attracting the cations thereof through a solid electrolyte and converting them to elemental metal at a cathode. The improvement comprises disposing a secondary molten electrolyte adjacent to and contiguous with the side of said solid electrolyte in closest proximity with said recovered metal such that the cations of said metal being recovered are reduced at the interface between said secondary electrolyte and the recovered molten metal rather than in or adjacent to the surface of the solid electrolyte.
