The device of these methods is implemented in narration below.
According to electrolyzer of the present invention, be to design like this, the metal or alloy that promptly allows to be generated is poured out or is bled off in its bottom.So, in the bottom of equipment, there is one to extract out or discharge region, collect the product that generates in discharge region with sedimentation.Design the zone of this shape, mean that metal or alloy belongs to discharge easily.
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, represented here is electrolyzer 1, this electrolyzer by the first half 2, be generally garden tubular narrow-necked earthen jar and Lower Half is formed, Lower Half is the discharge region of conduit 3.The interior transverse section of discharge region is less than the transverse section of the first half, and preferably by the center of vertical aligning narrow-necked earthen jar, the conduit with transverse section of garden tubular is made.Conduit 3 preferably leads to the first half at 4 centers, electrolyzer first half bottom.
In order to be easy to emission product, can make 4 downward-sloping a little about 10 ° of angles, bottom.
The first half of electrolyzer is equipped with electirc radiation, electrically contact or the heating unit of electro-induction, or gas or fuel oil stove heating unit.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate two specific installations of discharge region.
About Fig. 1, discharge region or conduit 3 are by joining region 5, and three different zones in central section 6 and outside 7 districts are formed.Central section and other two districts are with valve 8 and opened in 9 minutes, and valve 8 and 9 is master switchs and shakes control.Determined in the above described manner regional 6 form a deposition space.Each all is provided with heating unit 5 districts and 6 districts, for example the device of electric heating pattern.
About used size, can point out the diameter in 6 districts and highly depend on the frequency that product discharges.Usually, the height in 6 districts can be 2.5-6 times of 5 districts height.
The discharge region 3 that Fig. 2 represents also is made up of three zones.These three zones are: joining region 10, central section 11 and outside area 12.Zone 11 characteristics are, its section is less than the section of regional 3 remaining parts, particularly 10 districts.Distinguish 12 status two portions: the part 13 and outside 14 close with 11 districts.These two portions owing to contain independently heating unit, therefore, come down to distinguishing each other.
Heating unit also is equipped with in 11 districts.For part 13 and 14, preferably use contact or the radiating heating unit is induction heaters of arbitrary form about part 14, and 11 districts are individual coll(-tube) heater, for example heating units of oil fuel or gaseous combustion type of furnace formula.
The diameter of discharge region also depends on the frequency of electrolyzer product discharging, and the diameter in 10 districts and 12 districts preferably equates, is about 2-4 doubly with 11 district's diameter ratios.As for height, approach the height in 10,11 and 13 districts substantially, than the big 3-5 of height of part 3 times.
Whole electrolyzer is made by resisting electrolyte resistance temperature and corrosion resistant material.Because electrolyzer contains different materials, the appropriate materials that can recommend is a cast iron, particularly foliate gray iron or spheroidal graphite cast iron, also can with contain chromium or nickel or preferably neodymium-alloying with silicon cast iron.
According to the present invention, electrolyzer can be with different electrode forms and different arrangement of electrodes.
In general, use graphite to make anode, about negative electrode, its character is decided by to be produced the kind of product.As previously mentioned, to the preparation rare earth metals, make negative electrode with tungsten; To the alloy that preparation is discussed, just make negative electrode with the consumption negative electrode or the rare earth metals-transition metal alloy of transition metal.
Usually, electrolyzer uses the negative electrode of a garden cylindricality, and it vertically puts into the narrow-necked earthen jar device, preferably is placed on the center of narrow-necked earthen jar.Particularly when the discharge region of electrolyzer be when making by garden tubular conduit, for the negative electrode that will dispose, the center of perpendicular alignmnet conduit is favourable.
In the equipment that the present invention mentions, negative electrode is hollow and the garden cylindricality, can pass through the centre portions of the sky of negative electrode, provides the rare earths muriate to electrolyzer.
At last, the negative electrode of usage level also is fine, and can use multi-form anode.
See that as Fig. 1 anode is owing to form with the garden post 15 of one or more vertical placements, these garden posts are configured in around the negative electrode, also can make the garden post 15 of use-case 6.
In the equipment of Fig. 2, anode also can constitute with the ring 17 of garden cylindricality, and garden cylindricality ring is aimed at the center of negative electrode 16, and anode also can be fan-shaped and need not annular with ring.
Be noted that it at last in electrolyzer, electrode will reasonably install, that is: the bottom of negative electrode more is close to storage narrow-necked earthen jar and bottom than an anode or a plurality of anodic bottom.
Now, the working method of narration said apparatus.
Mode with distributor is supplied with the rare-earth metal chloride material to electrolyzer continuously, under the situation of above-mentioned hollow cathode, and the centre portions of muriate iontophoresis electrode.
In the electrolysis procedure process, the metal or alloy of generation is fallen the bottom of storage narrow-necked earthen jar, and periodically discharges in discharge region.
Under device situation shown in Figure 1, open valve 8, shut-off valve 9 allows metal or alloy to be full of 6 districts fully, and one time loading operation finishes, and shut-off valve 8 is also opened valve 9, so that material flows to outside area 7.
When with device shown in Figure 2, program is as follows: the part 14 in 12 districts keeps cold state, that is to say that it maintains and is lower than the electrolyzer melt temperature.Metal or alloy leaves and is deposited on part 13,10 districts, 11 districts and just in heated 13 districts.Then, 11 districts are cooled very soon, and generate acromorph there.Promptly heat the outside 14 in 12 districts, so that pour out the product of collecting in 13 districts.Then, cooling 13 districts and 14 districts, so that generate fresh acromorph in 12 districts, 11 districts are heat temperature raising gradually.
Can estimate: above-mentioned device can be used for any electrolysis of molten electrolyte, and this electrolytic final product finishes to collect with deposition.So, the electrolyzer that its application is not limited to describe among the present invention.
The present invention never is limited to the equipment of only narrating as embodiment, if particularly these equipment are to use in the scope that claim is protected, the present invention includes the technical equivalents thing of the equipment of being described and all devices of combination thereof.
