The invention relates to a novel rare-earth electrolytic bath. A gap is reserved in the center of each
anode, and the bottom surface of each
anode is a
concave surface being concave from the periphery towards the center. A
cathode is correspondingly arranged below each
anode. The cathodes are buried in a protruding high-temperature-resisting material. The top of each
cathode is an arc convex surface and protrudes out of the high-temperature insulating material. An electrical insulating layer is arranged between the high-temperature-resisting material and each
cathode. A
metal groove is formed between every two cathodes, and the high-temperature-resisting material is concave downwards to form the
metal grooves. A cathode
steel bar is located at the bottom of each cathode and connected with the cathode. The space between every two adjacent cathode steel bars is filled with a
graphite block. An electrical insulating layer is arranged between each
graphite block and the corresponding cathode
steel bar. A feeder is arranged on the top of a bath body. According to the novel rare-earth electrolytic bath, the convex surfaces of the cathodes are higher than the high-temperature insulating
layers, so that a high-temperature zone of the electrolytic bath is moved upwards. Through the
metal grooves designed for the electrolytic bath, the contact area of metal and an
electrolyte is reduced, re-
dissolution of the metal is restrained, and the current efficiency is improved. The shapes of the anodes of the electrolytic bath are beneficial for discharging of anode bubbles.
