ABSTRACT:
In an electrolytic reduction cell for the production of a molten metal by electrolysis of a molten electrolyte, the product metal collects on a cathodic carbon floor having embedded steel current collector bars for leading out the cathodic current. In order to reduce the wave motion of the metal due to interaction of horizontal currents in the product metal with the magnetic fields due to currents in conductors associated with the cell, electrically non-conductive barrier members are arranged on the floor of the cell transversely of horizontal currents in the product metal. Such barrier members have at least a surface layer of material resistant to product metal and extend upwardly from the cell floor to a height approximating to the normal maximum operating level of product metal.
