Abstract

1326933 Producing metals; distilling BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE 4 Sept 1970 [5 Sept 1969 7 Aug 1970] 42585/70 Heading C7D [ Also in Division C1] Volatile metals such as sodium or magnesium, or non-volatile metals such as Ti, Zr, Hf, U, V, Nb, Ta, W, Cu, Fe, are produced by reducing at least one halide of the metal with calcium carbide the reduction being carried out in a solution of calcium carbide entirely dissolved in a molten mixture of at least one halide of Na, K, Rb, Cs and at least one halide of Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr. Na may be produced in the apparatus shown in which calcium carbide and sodium chloride are fed from hopper 12 to a mining chamber 2 in which they are dissolved with recycled calcium chloride from line 36. The solution passes through sieve screen 15 to separate solid particles and enters heated reaction chamber 3 at e.g. 830‹C. through valve 5, 6. The solution reacts as it falls over baffles 4 giving off Na vapour which, with some NaCl, passes to condenser 18, NaCl condensing as solidion baffles 19, Na condensing as liquid on cooled tubes 21. The suspension of carbon in Ca Cl 2 resulting from the reaction passes down a heated barometric column 28 to receptacle 29 where the carbon separates and is decanted at 30, Ca Cl 2 being partially recycled through line 36 and partly discarded through line 34. The condenser is connected to a vacuum pump by conduit 26 to produce a reduced pressure of 10<SP>-4</SP>-10<SP>-2</SP> atmosphere in the condenser and reaction chamber.
