Rotating cathode device for molten salt bath
Abstract
The invention relates to a rotating cathode device for molten salt baths used to prepare metallic titanium or aluminum and the like by electrolysis of molten salts. The rotating cathode device is described. It is a cyclindrical cathode mounted on a rotating spindle, made of a lightweight material and mounted in such a way as to avoid thermal strain between the rotational shaft and the cylindrical cathode. At least one of the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical cathode are closed by a cap and a seal consisting of an inorganic fiber composite in the area between the cap and the cathode.
