Definitions
- This invention relates to partitions for separating the electrolytic products in the fusion electrolysis of chlorides, particularly of magnesium.
- the refractory products have a porosity ranging from about 18 to 30 percent, hence they become completely saturated with the electrolyte and are then able to conduct the current, so that the metal resulting from the electrolysis, such as magnesium, is deposited, which reduces the silica.
- the durability of the refractory partitions can be substantially increased by protecting them against the passage of the current by a layer of non-conductive ceramic material of dense structure.
- a chamotte plate may be protected against the passage of electric current by facing the same with porcelain plates.
- FIG. 1 shows in elevation and Fig. 2 in cross section the lateral walls of an electrolytic cell (A), in which a partition wall is inserted (B)' consisting of elements (b) of a dense ceramic material, the latter being fitted together by means of grooves and tongues (C) in the manner of a straight arch.

- B partition wall
- elements (b) of a dense ceramic material the latter being fitted together by means of grooves and tongues (C) in the manner of a straight arch.
- a partition for separating the products of electrolysis comprising a plurality of wedge-shaped plates of non-conductive ceramic material of dense structure, said plates being fitted together so as to form a substantially continuous surface of said partition.
- a partition for separating the products of electrolysis comprising a plurality of wedge-shaped plates of non-conductive ceramic material of dense structure, arranged in the manner of an arch and fitted together by a suitable binder, so as to form a substantially continuous surface of said partition.
