Abstract

The invention discloses an energy-efficient rare earth metal electrolytic bath. The energy-efficient rare earth metal electrolytic bath comprises a bath body, a molybdenum crucible, a cathode and an anode. The molybdenum crucible is arranged at the bottom of the inside of the bath body. The anode surrounds the inner wall of the bath body to be vertically arranged. The cathode is vertically arranged at the center of the bath body. The cathode is a hollow cylinder. The energy-efficient rare earth metal electrolytic bath has the technical effects that by increasing the cathode radius, the cathode-current density is reduced under the condition that the anode-current density and electrolyte body current density are not changed, and therefore the electrolyte voltage drop nearby the cathode is reduced, the bath voltage of the electrolytic bath can be greatly lowered, and the energy-saving and cost-reducing purposes are realized. Decomposition of rare earth fluoride is reduced through the low voltage, and the content of fluorine in flue gas is decreased. Losses of lateral heat are reduced through the increase of thermal insulation materials, and meanwhile heating decrease caused by the low voltage can be offset. Through the design of adding the cover at the upper end, the top heat loss is reduced; and meanwhile, flue gas emissions are controlled, and air pollution of an electrolytic plant is reduced.
