A Continuous Electrolytic Process for the Production of Beryllium Metal

A brief description of the process is given, and details of work over a three-year period are summarized. The continuous production of Re metal by low- temperature fused salt electrolysis into a continuously circulating Hg cathcde has been demonstrated. The product is amenable to direct hot pressing or to powder preparation by distilling off the Hg. The production of pure BeCl/sub 2/ in good yield by direct chlorination of BeO has been demonstrated. The production of pure BeCl/sub 2/ in good yield by direct chlorination of beryl has been studied. The status of this work is not sufficiently advanced to permit valid conclusions as to ultimate success. The electrolytic cell and associated equipment and the chlorination equipment are described in detail. Operating procedures and representative results are given. The course for continued work is indicated. (auth)
