Abstract
A prototype plant for the production of magnesium metal by fused salt electrolysis of anhydrous MgCI, has been set up during
1985 at DMRL, Hyderabad, as a joint development project with CECRI, Karaikudi. Cells of 30 KA capacity have been designed, fabricated
and erected. A suitable absorption system has been installed for the treatment of generated chlorine.
The plant has been commissioned and one cell has been.operated over a period of four months. The metal at the rate of 100 - 150 kglday
with a current efficiency of over 70% has been obtained. The metal on remelting has been found to be of 99.9% purity.
The paper describes the plant and the process units. The experimental results and the performance of the cell are discussed.
