Electrochemical Deoxidation of Liquid Iron.

The possibility of electrochemical deoxidation of iron with current density of up to 0. 3 A/cm**2 is experimentally proved. The depth of electrochemical deoxidation increases with increasing current density and decreasing potential of oxygen in the gas phase. For practical implementation of electrochemical oxidation, it is necessary to develop heat-resisting electrolytes with low porosity and to investigate the way to eliminate polarization of the electrodes.
