Abstract

The invention relates to a method for electrolytically preparing magnesium-rare earth by using hydrated magnesium chloride and rare earth chloride, which is characterized by taking MgCl2.2H2O and CeCl3.3H2O or MgCl2.2H2O and NdCl3.3H2O as raw materials, taking a system of MgCl2-NaCl-KCl-CeCl3 or a system of MgCl2-NaCl-KCl-NdCl3 as an electrolyte, taking a molybdenum rod as a subsidence cathode and black lead as an anode, carrying out DC electrolyte under the condition with the voltage of 4.0-8.0V and the temperature of 680 -800 DEG C, and obtaining magnesium-rare earth. The invention uses incomplete dehydrated hydrated magnesium chloride and incomplete dehydrated rare earth chloride as the raw materials to carry out the electrolyte, and avoids the process of removing the constituent water of crystal in the traditional method, so that the processes can be simplified, and simultaneously, the cost of the raw materials and production can be reduced.

Description
