AI Technical Summary
In existing methods for preparing aluminum-scandium master alloys, the scandium yield is low and scandium-containing compounds tend to accumulate in the electrolyte, resulting in high production costs and low efficiency.
A molten salt electrolyte containing sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, lithium fluoride, and interfacial active salts (such as magnesium fluoride or calcium fluoride) is used. By combining these components in specific proportions, the primary crystallization temperature, viscosity, and conductivity are reduced, aluminum melt loss and anodic effect are decreased, and efficient alloying of scandium is achieved.
This improved the scandium content and scandium yield of the aluminum-scandium master alloy, reduced production costs, extended the service life of the electrolytic cell and anode, and met the preparation requirements of the molten salt electrolysis method.
