Abstract
Electrical energy is generated by feeding oxygen through a solid electrolyte wall in contact with a bath of molten metal, the positive electrode being provided on the surface of this wall defining the gas space while the negative electrode is provided in the melt. Carbon monoxide released when the oxygen reacts with dissolved carbon in the melt is collected for further use and the carbon in the melt is replenished in the form of solid carbon particles which can be entrained into the melt in carbon monoxide gas.
