Oxygen and iron production by electrolytic smelting of lunar soil (Document No: 19910015894)

Description	Previous work has shown that Fe(sup 0) and O2 can be derived by electrolysis from silicate smelt of a composition typical of lunar soils (Lindstrom and Haskin 1979). In the present study, the goal is to refine further the conditions necessary to optimize production and to determine efficiencies of production (how much product is derived for a given current) and purity of products. These depend on several factors, including potential imposed between electrodes, configuration and surface area of the electrodes, composition of the electrolyzed silicate melt, and oxygen fugacity. Experiments were designed to measure the dependence on these variables of three parameters that must be known before production by electrolysis can be optimized. These parameters are: Limiting Current; Actual Current; and Efficiencies of Production.
