Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the continuous production of the high-purity Y by attachably and detachably mounting an electrodeposited Y housing device to the upper part of an electrolytic device, housing a cathode electrode rod into this electrodeposited Y housing device and pulling up the electrodeposited Y. CONSTITUTION:A graphite crucible 4 is inserted into a crucible 3 and powdery LiCl and KCl are put therein. This crucible is put into an electrolytic cell vessel 2 and the vessel is set in an electric oven 1. While the inside of the oven is evacuated, the LiCl and KCl are heated and gaseous Ar is introduced therein. A crude Y metal 11 is inserted into the bath and further, YCl3 is introduced simultaneously with gaseous Ar into the bath. The bath temp. is kept at about 700 deg.C and an electrolysis is effected by putting the cathode electrode rod 8 into the bath. The electrodeposited Y is pulled up into the electrodeposited Y housing device 13 and upper and lower valves 14, 15 are closed. The electrodeposited Y housing device 13 is moved together with the cathode electrode rod 8 to another electric oven. Another electrodeposited Y housing device 13 is mounted on the valve 15 and the continuous operation is carried out.

In this way, in the post-treatment of electrodeposited Y, the attached salt often absorbs moisture when exposed to the outside air, making it difficult to desalinate properly. receive. Furthermore, there was a lot of splash in the subsequent EB melting, and the yield was also poor. In addition, in order to take out the deposited Y, the molten salt had to be cooled once, which required a batch process, which made continuous operation impossible.
