Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé de production de métal hautement pur caractérisé. A cet effet, on procède par électrolyse avec utilisation d'une solution métallique. L'anode est séparée de la cathode par une membrane d'échange d'anions. On prélève en continu ou par intermittence un anolyte à envoyer vers un bac d'extraction au solvant. En outre, on introduit en continu ou par intermittence dans le réservoir d'extraction au solvant, au voisinage de la cathode, un électrolyte métallique hautement pur dont les impuretés, et notamment le fer ont été retirées. L'invention constitue ainsi un procédé simple pour réaliser une électrolyse en partant d'un matériau métallique contenant de grandes quantités de fer, de carbone et d'oxygène par utilisation d'une solution métallique. Ce procédé permet de produire de façon efficace un métal hautement pur d'un indice de pureté d'au moins 4N (99,99 % massique) ou d'au moins 5N (99,999 % massique).
