- Abstract
This paper presents an electrochemical study on the separation of lanthanum from samarium on aluminum electrode at 773 K. The results from different electrochemical methods showed that Sm(III) and La(III) formed Al-Sm and Al-La intermetallic compounds on an aluminum electrode at electrode potential around −1.67 and −1.46 V, respectively. The electrochemical separation of lanthanum was carried out in LiCl-KCl-LaCl-SmCl melts on solid aluminum electrodes at 773 K by potentiostatic electrolysis at −1.45 V for 40 h and the separation efficiency was 99.1 %.
