Abstract (en)

An apparatus for production of metal by molten salt electrolysis and a method for production of metal using this, in particular, the apparatus and method for production of metal in which metal having solubility in an electrolysis bath can be efficiently produced and recovered are provided. In the method for production of metal, an electrolysis bath is filled in an electrolysis vessel, positive and cathode are immersed and arranged, metal is deposited on the cathode in which cooling medium can flow inside of the cathode, the solid metal deposited is melted in the electrolysis bath by disconnecting electric current to the cathode, and the molten metal is immediately removed to the outside of the electrolysis vessel.
