Abstract： The chlorination of rare earth oxides by MgCl2 was investigated in the molten chlorides. To reduce the solvent salt volatility, the LiCl-NaCl mixture was selected as a solvent by comparing the mass loss of the LiCl-NaCl with LiCl-KCl melts after the addition of MgCl2 in the temperature range of 873 K to 1073 K. The dissolution behavior of La2O3 was investigated in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2 melts by XRD measurements and ICP-AES analysis of the melts, which indicated that La2O3 was chlorinated by MgCl2 to produce LaCl3. The reduction peak of La(III) in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2-La2O3 melts was observed from cyclic voltammogram and square wave voltammogram. The Mg-La alloy obtained by galvanostatic electrolysis in the LiCl-NaCl-MgCl2-La2O3 melts was characterized by XRD and SEM-EDS, indicating that the Mg-La alloy consisted of Mg and La2Mg17 phases.

Abstract： The reduction of Tm(III) on a liquid Zn electrode was investigated in a LiCl-KCl melt via cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and open circuit chronopotentiometry. On a liquid Zn electrode, the reduction mechanism of Tm(III) ions is through one step with the exchange of three electrons via the formation of a Zn-Tm alloy. This differs from that on an inert electrode, as the reduction is Tm(III) ions were though two consecutive steps. Galvanostatic electrolysis was carried out at a liquid Zn electrode at different current densities in a LiCl-KCl-TmCl3 melt. The Tm2Zn17 intermetallic compound was identified in the deposit, except in the Zn phase, by X-ray Diffraction (XRD).
