Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction Monitoring of the Operation of an Inert Anode Utilized in a Cambridge FFC-Cell

Electrochemical measurements are powerful tools for investigating electrowinning processes in molten salts. However, non-electrochemical techniques are often required in order to better understand the complex processes that occur in electrowinning. To this end, the electrolysis group at CSIRO has collaborated with a number of other groups within CSIRO to develop these additional investigative tools. This paper will describe our work in Synchrotron X-ray diffraction phase-mapping of an inert anode in an operating FFC-type laboratory cell.
