Communication—Rotating Basket Cathode for High-Speed Electrolytic Reduction of TiO<sub>2</sub> in Molten CaCl<sub>2</sub>-CaO
A rotating basket cathode improved the TiO 2 -reduction efficiency by 6.5-fold and accelerated the electrolysis of molten CaCl 2 -CaO at 1173 K in an Ar atmosphere. Promoting dissolution of the CaO byproduct and mass transfer near the cathode was effective for TiO 2 reduction and α -Ti deoxidation. The reduction efficiency can be predicted by optimizing the rotational speed and pulse rotation.
