Vacuum Molten Salt Electrolysis Furnace for High-Temperature Electrochemical Research

Introduction

The ZYLAB Vacuum Molten Salt Electrolysis Furnace is a high-performance system specifically designed for molten salt electrochemical processes. Built for advanced research in electrometallurgy, high-temperature electrolysis, and ionic conductivity studies, this furnace provides a stable and controllable environment for precision electrochemical reactions at elevated temperatures.

Molten salts, as high-temperature ionic conductors, offer a wide electrochemical window and fast reaction kinetics—making them ideal electrolytes for electrochemical metallurgy. The electrolysis of aluminum is one of the most successful examples of this technology.

Key Features

  • High-Temperature Operation: Capable of reaching up to 1200°C, suitable for most molten salt systems including chlorides, fluorides, and carbonates.

  • Stable Power Control: Equipped with a non-contact thyristor control module for smooth, precise operation.

  • Uniform Heating Design: Bottom and annular side heating with embedded alloy heating wires ensures excellent temperature uniformity.

  • Energy-Efficient Insulation: Built with vacuum-formed ceramic insulation, reducing thermal losses and power consumption.

  • Robust Electrolysis Chamber: Made from 310S stainless steel, resistant to oxidation and corrosion under harsh electrochemical conditions.

  • Vacuum & Gas Atmosphere Compatible: Integrated vacuum port (KF25) and gas inlet/outlet connections for controlled atmosphere processing.

  • Water-Cooled Seal Structure: Extends seal life and ensures vacuum integrity during prolonged high-temperature operation.

  • Multiple Electrode Ports: Flexible electrode terminal configuration for different electrolysis setups.
