> 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.

Chemical reactions like that are fairly low voltage similar to the reactions in batteries so I'm guessing low single digits in volts. A friend of mine works at a nearby Zinc factory and I think they also use hundreds of thousands of amps at something like 2 volts.

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

Would Aluminum work? It's lighter so would float, conducts electricity well and melts at 660.32 °C / ​1220.58 °F and would only boil at 2470 °C / ​4478 °F so I'd say it's a good candidate provided you have the reaction chamber enclosed and no Oxygen from the atmosphere can get in.
