Content Data

This page contains data entry 47921 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

Molten Oxide Electrolysis. 600,000 amps to produce ten tons a day. A largely useless metric unless we know the voltage needs of the system.

If we assume it to be 480V, and we assume those 600,000 amps are spread out over a 12 hour work cycle (the article doesn’t say) then we are looking at 24MWh of electricity. Not a small sum. Could be completely different math, but the article doesn’t get into it. Lastly I’d want to learn of the losses.

You lose 50% of your energy when you turn coal into steam to turn a turbine to produce electricity. Then water electrolysis has a 20-30% energy loss. So we are looking at a pretty big system loss when compared to just using that energy to smelt.

The article doesn’t state any of this btw, so I could completely be off base.

Liquid electrolyte isn’t specified. But it’s gotta be an interesting one to coexist with metal iron at 1600 degrees.
