Molten Salt Electrolysis<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\n Molten salt electrolysis is a method of electrolyzing salt by heating solid salt to high temperatures to melt it and then subjecting the molten salt to electrolysis.\n Metals such as aluminium, lithium, and sodium, which have high ionization tendencies and do not precipitate in aqueous electrolysis, are industrially produced using this method.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How It Is Used<\/h2>\n <\/hgroup>\n

In electrolysis applications, graphite is used as electrolytic plates for extracting target products from ores and brine (seawater, salt lake water) through electrolysis, taking advantage of graphite’s excellent heat resistance, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

\n Graphite is used as an anode, a cathode, or both as electrolytic plates for molten salt electrolysis.
\n In molten salt electrolysis, corrosive chlorine gas may be generated depending on the type of salt used. Our extruded specialty graphite, which excels in electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance, is utilized as electrode plates for electrolysis.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
