(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing rare earth metals or their alloys by molten salt electrolysis, and in particular Nd metal, which is a raw material for Nd-Fe-B magnets, which has recently attracted attention as a high-performance magnet. The present invention also relates to a molten salt electrolyzer suitable for producing Nd-Fe alloys. (Prior Art and Problems to Be Solved) Molten salt electrolysis is known as one of the methods for producing rare earth metals or alloys thereof. There is a method using On the other hand, regarding molten salt electrolyzers, LiF has traditionally been used as a molten salt by adding rare earth compounds to it and used as a bath-resistant material when producing Nd metal or Nd-Fe alloy by electrolysis in an inert atmosphere. method using graphite (E. Morris et al. rU, S., Bur, Min, Rgp
, InvestJ NO3957. 1967) and a method using iron (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1987-878)
No. 88, etc.) are known. However, in this molten salt electrolysis method, there is a problem of corrosion of the electrolytic bath. Corrosion points due to molten salt can be roughly divided into those where the contact is in a liquid state (in the bath) and the interface between liquid and gas (in the bath). There is corrosion in three areas: the surface area) and the gaseous state (the upper part of the bath). In addition, the present inventor previously proposed an electrolytic method in an oxidizing atmosphere as a method for manufacturing Nd-Fe composites at low cost (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-204879), but under this condition, compared to an inert atmosphere, There is a problem in that corrosion conditions become even more severe. Therefore, as a material that can withstand such corrosion. The present inventor has developed a material that is inexpensive, easy to work with and easy to install, in place of the above-mentioned bath-resistant materials (graphite, iron), does not deteriorate the quality of the produced products, and is durable. proposed the use of austenitic stainless steel as a certain material (Japanese Patent Application No. 233697/1983). However, among the corrosion caused by molten salt mentioned above, the corrosivity is particularly strong when the object in contact is in a gaseous state (the upper part of the bath), and when considering the life of the entire bathtub, the upper part of the bathtub is prioritized due to corrosion caused by the gaseous state. In the case of industrial-scale production equipment, this can lead to corrosion due to the shortened lifespan (increased W costs, and a decrease in production due to production stoppages to replace the bathtub). Therefore, there has been a strong desire to develop a material that exhibits even greater corrosion resistance.The present invention was made in response to such a request. An object of the present invention is to provide an electrolytic bath for producing rare earth metals or their alloys by molten salt electrolysis, in which the portion of the bath that comes into contact with gas can sufficiently withstand corrosion by molten salt. It is something. (Means for solving the problem) As mentioned above, in an electrolytic bath for producing rare earth metals or their alloys by molten salt electrolysis, corrosion due to molten salt can be broadly classified into two types: Corrosion occurs in three areas: (inside the bath), the interface between liquid and gas (bath surface), and gaseous state (upper bath).
Corrosion is most severe when the bath is located above the bath surface, and in particular, the portion slightly above the bath surface is subject to the most severe corrosion. Regarding this phenomenon, the molten salt is in a liquid state in the bath or at the interface between the liquid and gas (bath surface), and the temperature of the molten salt itself is high, but the activity of the molten salt itself is not very high, and vice versa. At a distance from the bath surface, the molten salt itself is highly active in the gaseous state, but the temperature is not sufficient to cause corrosion. On the other hand, in the area slightly above the bath surface, the molten salt is in a gaseous state and has high activity, and the temperature is sufficient, so corrosion is more severe than in other parts of the bath. It is considered to be accepted. For this reason, when a lid is placed over the top of the bathtub to keep it warm, or when the bath surface is extremely lowered, the temperature distribution range where corrosion is likely to occur expands, and the areas that are corroded also become wider. The inventor of the present invention conducted extensive research on various materials in order to find a material that exhibits strong corrosion resistance against such corrosion. As a result, it was discovered that an alloy mainly composed of Ni exhibits greater corrosion resistance against molten salt in a gaseous state than other materials, and the present invention has been made based on this finding. That is, the present invention provides an electrolytic bath for producing rare earth metals or their alloys by molten salt electrolysis, in which at least a portion above the electrolytic bath surface of the bath is made of Ni: 50 to 80 wt.
% and Mo: 10 to 30 ut%. The present invention will be explained in more detail below. As mentioned above, the part above the electrolytic bath surface of the electrolytic bath is subject to severe corrosion compared to other parts, and this part is called an alloy mainly composed of Ni (hereinafter referred to as "N1-based alloy").
, Specifically, Ni is 50 to 80 wt% and Mo is 10 to 80 wt%.
It is composed of an alloy containing 30 υt%. A typical example of such an alloy is a Ni-based alloy commonly known as "Hastelloy"; for example, 20.0Mo-20,
Composition consisting of 0Fe-remaining Ni, 28.0Mo-5,0F
e-Composition consisting of remainder Nj, 16.5Cr-17,0Mo
Composition consisting of -5,0Fe-4,5W-remaining Ni, 5.0
Examples include a composition consisting of Cr-24°5Mo-5,5Fe-remaining Ni. Of course, as long as Ni and Mo are contained within the above ranges, there is no problem even if other elements such as Fe, Cr, W, Si, Cu, etc. are contained. However, if the Ni content is lower than 50 wt%, it will be more susceptible to corrosion, and if the Ni content is higher than 80 wt%, it will be more susceptible to corrosion. Undesirable. Desirably, Ni is 60 to 7
An alloy containing 8 wt% Mo and 15 to 25 tit% Mo is suitable. Furthermore, if the MO content is lower than 10 wt%, the corrosion resistance will be insufficient, and if it is higher than 30 wt%, the effect on corrosion resistance will be saturated and it will be uneconomical, which is not preferable. The portion above the surface of the electrolytic bath to be made of the Ni-based alloy may be located only near the interface of the bath, and may be up to 100 a+m below the normally designed interface. The area from the upper end of the bathtub to 100IIIn below the design interface position is lined with Ni-based alloy, and is fixed to the bathtub body by dissimilar metal welding. Of course, it goes without saying that the structure should be designed in anticipation of the electrolytic bath surface fluctuating up and down. In addition, the constituent material of the bath surface side part other than the upper part of the electrolytic bath surface is not particularly limited, and may be composed of the same material or other Ni-based alloy, or may be composed of austenitic stainless steel or the like. You can also. The electrolytic bath in which the above-mentioned Ni-based alloy is used to form the upper part of the electrolytic bath surface can be applied to any molten salt electrolysis method.
There is a LiF-NdF3-Nd203 system in which d2O3 is mixed, and furthermore, B a F2 is added to this. A molten salt containing CaF or the like may also be used. NdCQ can also be used instead of NdF. Furthermore, with regard to the atmosphere, sufficient corrosion resistance can be obtained even when electrolyzed in an oxidizing atmosphere, particularly in the air. Of course, a non-oxidizing atmosphere is also possible. The present inventor conducted corrosion tests in the atmosphere on various materials as bathtub materials for holding molten salt. An example of the results is shown below. Figure 1 shows the equipment used for corrosion tests of various materials in molten salt, and Figure 2 shows the results. First, as shown in FIG. 1, various materials 10 are put into molten salt 2, and the total amount of corrosion in the molten salt, the interface between the molten salt and the atmosphere 5, and the portion spanning the upper part of the molten salt is investigated every day. The results are shown in Figure 2. The experimental conditions were that a bathtub 8 made of 5US-304 was held in the atmosphere at a bath temperature of 880° C. without electricity. Molten salt 2 is LiF80+oQ%-NdF. 20rnoQ% LiF-NdF, system and LiF80n
oQ%-NdF, 20moQ% and Nd2O, 2wt%
Two types of added LiF-NdF3-Nd20a systems were used, but the results showed the same tendency. From the results shown in FIG. 2, it is clear that common steel, 5US-=3ios, which is the austenitic stainless steel proposed earlier by the present inventor (Japanese Patent Application No. 61-233697), and the Ni-based alloy according to the present invention. (27,5wt%Mo-67,5wt
%Ni), when comparing the respective corrosion amounts,
Although austenitic stainless steel has better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel, it can be seen that the use of Ni-based alloy has even better corrosion resistance. Regarding the cathode material, a graphite electrode may be used when producing rare earth metals, and a cathode made of a material such as iron may be used when producing rare earth alloys. Next, examples of the present invention will be shown. (Example) Nd was produced by molten salt electrolysis using the electrolytic cell shown in Figure 3.
- Continuous operation was carried out to produce Fe alloy. As shown in FIG. 3, the electrolytic bath is made of a Ni-based alloy (commonly known as "Hastelloy B") (Mo: 28 tgt%, F
e: 5wt%, Ni: remainder) 9, 30cm from the top of the tank
It is lined with a thickness of 5 mm to the depth of
-I lined it with 310S. In addition, the metal receiver 6 is lined with a tantalum plate 11. During electrolysis, when an iron cathode 4 and a graphite anode 3 are placed and energized, the electrolyzed Nd reacts with the cathode 4 and becomes Nd.
The metal receiver becomes a -Fe alloy droplet 7 and is accommodated in the container 6, where it is deposited as a Nd-Fe alloy 1. Note that the electrolysis was performed in the atmosphere. In addition, there are two types of electrolytic baths: LiF
80mof2%-NdF, 20■OQ% LiF-N
dF□ system, LiF80moQ%-NdF, 20moR
LiF-NdF with 2st% Nd2O added to %. Nd, O, and Nd-based baths were used, and both were operated at an electrolytic temperature of 880° C., but no major changes were observed depending on the electrolytic bath composition. The above experimental results are shown in Table 1. In addition, in the same table,
The number of days of continuous use means that the material (thickness 5 + U+) used at a depth of 30 cm from the top of the electrolytic bath becomes thinner as the number of days of operation passes, so that it becomes thinner to the extent that there is a risk of the electrolytic bath flowing out. Expressed in number of days. From Table 1, it can be seen that the number of days of continuous use is significantly increased by lining at least the upper part of the electrolytic bath with a Ni-based alloy as shown in the example of the present invention.
