Abstract

The present study deals with the obtaining of solid cerium by molten salt electrolysis of a 46.74 - 48.26 - 5wt% LiF-NaF-NaCeF4 mixture, in the temperature range 700 - 730 °C and with a current efficiency of ∼75%. For this purpose NaCeF4 was obtained, characterized and it's cubic form was identified. The solubility and decomposition potential of this compound in the molten electrolyte 49.2 - 50.8% LiF-NaF was also studied.
