METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR IN-LINE PRODUCTION OF MAGNESIUM AND CHLORINE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: electrolytic inorganic syntheses. SUBSTANCE: process is carried out in electrolyzers flow line and includes: loading raw material, forcing magnesium-containing melt to move in closed hydrodynamic circuit, supplying constant current through two electrolyzers, and separating magnesium from melt fulfilled immediately before melt inlet in one of electrolyzers through which constant current is supplied. Flow line consists of electrolyzers, separating assembly, and connecting canals. separating assembly is located immediately before one of two electrolyzers to which busducts are connected to supply constant current. Method allows power consumption to be reduced by 2.7% and productivity in respect to magnesium to be increased by 2.7% owing to reduced loss of current over connecting canal between the two electrolyzers through which constant current is supplied. EFFECT: enhanced process efficiency. 2 cl, 1 dwg
