“…Preventing ingress of the salt is achieved by selecting a low-porosity hot face refractory that exhibits chemical stability in the presence of the salt. During Phases 1, three refractory candidates were studied based on knowledge of successful aluminosilicate hot face materials used in the magnesium electrolysis industry [33]. In addition, a 3-mm metallic hot face was considered, similar to research and testing in the 1980s with solar salt [34]; however, this design was projected to be significantly more expensive based on the cost of H230 used in Phase 1.…”

“…Magnesium and lithium metal is electrolytically produced at a commercial-scale from MgCl 2 melts and LiCl-KCl eutectic melts, respectively. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Some rare earth metals have been commercially produced via electrolysis in fused chloride salts for several decades. 7 More recent investigations have explored electrolytic reduction of rare earth oxides to metals or intermetallics.…”

The electrochemical measurement of concentration in molten chloride salts is a valuable tool for the control of existing and potential industrial processes, recycling of precious materials and energy production. The electrochemical techniques commonly used to measure concentration and each techniques’ associated theory are discussed. Practices which improve measurement accuracy and precision are set forth. Exceptionally accurate and precise measurements published in the literature are evaluated based on their performance in specified concentration ranges. The strengths and weaknesses of the most accurate measurements are briefly explored. Chronopotentiometry (CP) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) are accurate and precise with low concentration measurements. SWV was accurate at low concentrations, even in multi-analyte mixtures. CP was accurate for only single analyte mixtures. Open-circuit potentiometry (OCP) is accurate and precise in single-analyte mixtures but yields large errors in multianalyte mixtures. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and normal pulse voltammetry (NPV) are accurate and precise across all concentration ranges. NPV is exceptionally well suited for measurements in melts with multiple electroactive species.

America has completed a development program designed to improve the performance efficiency of the electrolysis system and eliminate operating chlorine losses. This work has culminated in the recent modernization of the process. The conversion has provided a number of operating benefits including significant reductions in labor costs, energy costs, maintenance costs, and environmental releases. This paper will review the development, design, environmental impact, and cost benefit of the project.
