Exploration into the Selection of Cell Types for Magnesium Metal Electrolytic Cells
Magnesium,due to its unique metallic properties,has become the most popular light metal material in the 20th century.Magnesium alloy materials extending around it are widely used in the automotive,electronic,military and other fields.As a hydrogen storage material,it is also highly favored by modern cutting-edge technology.Meanwhile,magnesium electrolysis technology is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving compared to the Pidgeon process for refining magnesium.With the development of magnesium electrolysis technology,there have been different types of electrolytic cells.A certain company introduced a unipolar electrolytic cell in the early stage,but during the production process,the production of the electrolytic cell was unstable,with high energy and raw material consumption,low chlorine gas concentration,poor cleanliness,and high chlorine gas treatment costs,which were very unfavorable for the development of the enterprise.After comparing various types of electrolytic cells,it is planned to adopt the process technology of melting and purifying anhydrous magnesium chloride particles and producing magnesium metal through multipole cell electrolysis.
