  • Systems and methods for molten oxide electrolysis
    Patent number: 11591703
    Abstract: Metallurgical assemblies and systems according to the present technology may include a refractory vessel including sides and a base. The base may define a plurality of apertures centrally located within the base. The sides and the base may at least partially define an interior volume of the refractory vessel. The assemblies may include a lid removably coupled with the refractory vessel and configured to form a seal with the refractory vessel. The lid may define a plurality of apertures through the lid. The assemblies may also include a current collector proximate the base of the refractory vessel. The current collector may include conductive extensions positioned within the plurality of apertures centrally located within the base.
    Type: Grant

  • Sulfides Electrolyte for Metal Processing and Extraction
    Publication number: 20200247670
    Abstract: A method includes contacting a metallic compound comprising a first metallic cation, with a melt comprising a metallic polysulfide comprising a second metallic cation, thereby forming a molten metallic polysulfide of the first metallic cation. The method also includes cooling the melt to form a sulfur phase and a solid phase comprising the molten metallic polysulfide of the first metallic cation.
