Abstract[English]
An electrochemical cell for converting metal salt or metal oxide to metal comprises: a) a mixture comprising an electrolyte and metal salt or metal oxide; b) an anode submerged in the mixture; c) a cathode partially submerged in the mixture and moveable along a closed loop path; and d) a harvester disposed at an exposed portion of the cathode outside of the mixture, wherein an electrical charge supplied to the electrochemical cell reduces the metal salt or metal oxide to metal at and disposed onto the cathode, and wherein the harvester removes the metal from the exposed portion of the cathode. Methods and systems for converting metal salt or metal oxide to metal are also disclosed including continuous methods and systems.[French]
Cellule électrochimique pour convertir un sel métallique ou un oxyde métallique en métal comprenant : a) un mélange comprenant un électrolyte et un sel métallique ou un oxyde métallique ; b) une anode immergée dans le mélange ; c) une cathode partiellement immergée dans le mélange et mobile le long d'un trajet en boucle fermée ; et d) une moissonneuse disposée au niveau d'une partie exposée de la cathode à l'extérieur du mélange, une charge électrique fournie à la cellule électrochimique réduisant le sel métallique ou l'oxyde métallique en métal au niveau de la cathode et disposée sur celle-ci, et la moissonneuse retirant le métal de la partie exposée de la cathode. Des procédés et des systèmes de conversion de sel métallique ou d'oxyde métallique en métal, sont également divulgués, comprenant des procédés et des systèmes continus.
