ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF METAL OXIDES

A process for minimising reoxidation of reduced material is disclosed. The process applies to reduced material that has been formed by a process of electrochemically reducing a metal oxide feed material, such as titania, in a solid state in an electrolytic cell containing a molten electrolyte.

Zusammenfassung:	A process for minimising reoxidation of reduced material is disclosed. The process applies to reduced material that has been formed by a process of electrochemically reducing a metal oxide feed material, such as titania, in a solid state in an electrolytic cell containing a molten electrolyte. The process for minimising reoxidation includes applying an electrical potential to reduced material at least while the reduced material remains immersed in the molten electrolyte.
