Abstract

The present invention provides a new and useful process for the production of a molten metal by electrolysis in an electrolytic cell having an electrolysis section (16), a metal recovery section (18) and a submerged reservoir (68), said process comprising electrolysing in said electrolysis section of said cell an electrolyte containing a fused salt of said metal to produce said metal, said electrolyte having a greater density than said metal; causing said metal and additional said electrolyte to circulate continuously from said electrolysis section to said recovery section; continuously separating said metal from said electrolyte in said recovery section; causing said metal to circulate toward a part of said recovery section remote from said electrolysis section; conveying said metal from said recovery section to said submerged reservoir; and periodically recovering said metal from said reservoir.
