FREMGANGSMAATE FOR ELEKTROLYTISK FREMSTILLING AV TITAN FRATITANFORBINDELSER SOM ER UOPPLOESELIGE I DEN ANVENDTE ELEKTROLYTT

Metals and metalloids are produced by cathodically dissolving their compounds in electrolytic cells, which comprise one or more heterogeneous bipolar electrodes in series, with terminal electrodes as cathodes and other terminal electrodes as soluble or inert anodes.The compounds are introduced into the cells and brought in contact with the cathodic sides of the heterogeneous bipolar electrodes. The cathodic half-reaction permits the reduction and the dissolution of the compounds, while terminal negative electrodes may hostthe electrolytic deposition of the metals.The cells may also comprise an electrowinning system of anodes and cathodes for depositing the dissolved metals.
