Molten Salt Electrolysis/Electrolytic/Electrochemical Furnace reactor for Metal Extraction

Product Description:

The KS-MFT-MSE1200 Molten Salt Electrolysis Furnace is a high-performance thermal processing system designed for advanced materials research and high-temperature electrochemical experiments. This unit is specifically engineered for molten salt electrolysis applications, enabling users to conduct controlled electrochemical reactions at elevated temperatures in a safe, precise, and repeatable environment.

This model adopts a top-loading structure, integrating an advanced quartz reaction chamber and highly efficient insulation layers to provide uniform temperature distribution and minimized heat loss. The system is built with industrial-grade reliability and is ideal for both laboratory-scale synthesis and pilot-scale testing of novel materials, including metal reduction, oxide conversion, and electrochemical deposition.

At the core of the KS-MFT-MSE1200 is its precision control system. Equipped with a multi-segment programmable temperature controller, it allows the user to define complex heating profiles with ramp/soak functionality for precise thermal control. This feature ensures that electrochemical reactions occur under optimal thermal conditions, which is critical when dealing with sensitive molten salt chemistry.

To facilitate in-situ temperature monitoring and control, the system includes dual thermocouple support, one dedicated to chamber temperature and another optional channel for electrolyte or crucible monitoring. The furnace is also equipped with automatic safety interlocks to prevent overheating and sensor failure, providing a reliable and secure operating environment.

One of the distinguishing features of this model is its modular electrode configuration. The KS-MFT-MSE1200 incorporates a water-cooled top flange with multiple feedthroughs, allowing users to install copper or graphite electrodes for electrolysis. The integrated electrode lifting mechanism ensures accurate positioning and height adjustment, which is essential for consistent current distribution during electrochemical operations.

The quartz crucible used within the system serves as the primary reactor for holding molten salts. Its excellent chemical resistance and high thermal stability make it ideal for handling aggressive electrolytes such as chlorides, fluorides, and carbonates. A dedicated electrode alignment frame is also included to simplify setup and enhance reproducibility between runs.

For temperature control and chamber cooling, the system is designed to work with an external recirculating water chiller. This ensures the upper flange and feedthroughs remain within operational temperature limits even during long-duration experiments. Additionally, for processes involving gas atmosphere control or vacuum purging, the KS-MFT-MSE1200 can be optionally configured with a vacuum pump to support inert or low-pressure conditions.

The furnace body is constructed from powder-coated steel and high-temperature insulation material, combining robust mechanical strength with thermal efficiency. Its clean industrial design ensures easy access to all operational components while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for space-limited laboratories.

Applications of the KS-MFT-MSE1200 span a wide range of material synthesis and electrochemical investigations. Researchers use it to explore electrorefining of metals, production of reactive rare-earth elements, and high-temperature corrosion studies. It's also widely applied in nuclear materials processing, battery materials research, and the recovery of strategic metals from molten salts.

Overall, the KS-MFT-MSE1200 is a comprehensive and versatile solution for molten salt electrolysis studies. With its thoughtful design, intelligent controls, and application-focused engineering, it meets the demanding requirements of modern research institutions, universities, and industrial laboratories seeking innovation in high-temperature electrochemical processes.
