ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and the process according to the invention concern the preparation of titanium by electrolysis in a bath of molten halides.
The apparatus comprises a porous diaphragm which is disposed around a feed cathode permitting partial reduction of the TiCl.sub.4 introduced into the electrolyte.
The intensity of the current which passes through the feed cathode is so regulated as to maintain a low but non-zero voltage drop, across the diaphragm which is insulated with respect to the feed cathode.
