A cell for electro-winning of calcium was designed and experiments were performed to obtain calcium metal from calcium chloride feed.
The dependence of cell potential on calcium oxide content in feed was studied.
The distinctive feature of this cell is the ceramic diaphragm shown around the anode.
This sheath is required to prevent the anodic carbon and the gases from mixing with the catholyte and lowering the cell efficiency.
It is also required to keep the deposited calcium away from the anodic gases.
Table-3 lists the various process parameters used in the experiments.
Intermediate and final levels of oxygen were recorded by the titration method as a function of time.
The cell was held at a set temperature.
Oxygen ions were allowed to diffuse in and replenish the anolyte.
