摘要
The electrochemical behaviour of copper electrode in molten NaCl-KCl-LaCl_3 has been investigated.The La-Cu alloy is formed at first and then the metallic lanthanum is deposited when the La^(3+)is reduced on the copper electrode.The technological conditions of preparing La-Cu alloy by consumable cathode have been dis- cussed.The La-Cu alloy contained lanthanum over 90wt% was obtained.The composition of alloy was LaCu_2 and La.The current efficiency was 85% and the recovery of lanthanum was near 90%.
