Abstract
The method, apparatus and product relate to the electrochemical reduction of a solid feedstock () to produce a product. A container () is filled with a fused salt (), and one or more anodes () contact the fused salt. A cathode () is loaded with feedstock and engages with a transport apparatus () which locates and moves the cathode past the anodes(s), while the cathode and the feedstock contact the fused salt. As the cathode moves past the anodes(s), a voltage applied between the cathode and the anode(s) electrochemically reduces the solid feedstock to form the product.
