Abstract

Electrochemical studies of niobium were performed in various molten salts, including NaClKClKF, LiClNaFKF and LiFNaFKF. The cathodic current efficiency increased with increasing number of fluoride components, as did the quality of the metal deposited at the cathode. Thus, the order of cathodic current efficiency was NaClKCl < LiClNaClKCl < NaClKClKF < LiClNaFKF < LiFNaFKF, using equimolar mixtures of the salts. The possible electrode processes were determined to be ▪ ▪ and the overall reaction was ▪ in terms of m 1and m 2 mol.
