Abstract
A method of rapidly cooling molten mixtures of alkali metal alloys in which the metal components of said alloys have a wide divergence of melting points that result in separation of the alaki metals during cool down. A calcium-sodium alloy is produced in an electrolysis cell. A method of high pressure atomization of the calcium-sodium alloy and its subsequent rapid cooling produces a calcium nodular particulate that is encased in a sodium flocculant. The material manufactured is used as a nodular electrolytic flocculant reactant in the electrolyte of an alkaline battery.
Claims2
A method of rapid cooling molten calcium and sodium metals to form a uniform mixture and distribution of nodular calcium particles dispersed in a sodium flocculant.
A method of maintaining individual solid calcium particles as a nodular component within a molten sodium metal by rapidly cooling the said calcium particles below the melting point of the said molten sodium to form a solid sodium flocculant covering said calcium particle producing a nodular electrolytic flocculant.
