[0002] At present, the molten salt electrolysis method is generally used in the preparation of praseodymium and neodymium metal in China. During the production process, raw materials such as praseodymium and neodymium oxides and fluorides are added to the electrolytic cell. A large amount of heat is generated by arcing to molten electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and then a large direct current is introduced for electrolysis. During the electrolysis process, rare earth metal ions are reduced to metal elements on the cathode surface. Since the density of metal elements is relatively large compared to the density of molten salt electrolyte, they are deposited in the collection tank at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. Workers take out the products in the collection tank at regular intervals, and then pour them into a casting mold. After cooling and molding, rare earth ingots are formed. At the same time, electrolysis raw materials are added in time according to proportion.
