The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic refining, and provides an electrochemical device and method for extracting
metal from
molten salt. The electrochemical device comprises an
anode, a
cathode, an insulating container, an electrolytic bath and an ultrasonic stirring device. The
cathode comprises a conductive part and
liquid metal; the insulating container is provided with a containing space, the top side of the containing space is open, the
liquid metal is contained in the containing space, and a part of the conductive part is inserted into the
liquid metal; the electrolytic bath is provided with a containing cavity used for containing
molten salt, the insulating container can be used for being immersed in the
molten salt so that liquid
metal can make contact with the molten salt, and one part of the
anode is used for being inserted into the molten salt; a portion of the ultrasonic stirring device is inserted into the liquid
metal for oscillating the liquid metal. The liquid metal is subjected to
ultrasonic oscillation in the
electrolysis process, so that the possibility that metal dendrites are formed on a reduction product or a high-melting-point
alloy layer is formed on the surface of the liquid metal is effectively reduced, the reaction efficiency of electrolytic extraction is improved, and the quality of the extracted reduction product is improved.
