Abstract

Gibbs energy showed that AlCl₃ can chloridize Pr ₆O₁₁ and release Pr(III) ions in the LiCl-KCl-Pr ₆O₁₁-AlCl₃ melts. The co-reduction process of Al(III), Pr(III) and Li(I) ions was investigated in the LiCl-KCl-Pr ₆O₁₁-AlCl₃ melts. Three signals, corresponding to different Al-Pr intermetallic compounds, were observed by cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and open circuit chronopotentiometry. Potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrolysis were conducted to extract Pr element from LiCl-KCl eutectic melts by forming Al-Pr and Al-Li-Pr alloys, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that both Al-Pr and Al-Li-Pr alloys comprised Al₂Pr phase. The composition of Al-Li-Pr alloys was analyzed by inductive coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). The proportion of Pr element in Al-Li-Pr alloys exceeded 40 wt.% when the concentration of AlCl₃ reached 8 wt.% in the LiCl-KCl-Pr₆O₁₁(1 wt.%) melts.
