ELECTROLYTIC APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTION OF OXIDES BY ELECTROLYSIS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C25C3/34 C25C7/02 G21C19/44 

FIELD: electrolytic apparatuses used in processes for extracting oxides.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes common cathode 12 and two types of anodes having different shapes and arrangement and placed in electrolytic bath 10. First anode 14 is arranged under cathode. Second anode 16 is arranged in parallel to cathode. First unit 18 for controlling electrolysis process is connected between cathode and first anode; second unit 20 for controlling electrolysis is connected between cathode and second anode. Combination of cathode and one anode is used for main electrolysis; combination of cathode and other anode is used for additional electrolysis for realizing electrolysis of material 22 in electrolytic bath.

EFFECT: prevention of non-uniformity of deposition, increased rate of processing, increased useful time period of crucible operation, processing of nuclear fuel elements in industrial processes with use of water-free processes.
