Abstract

See full text

A method of producing iron metal by electrolysis of iron ore can include introducing iron ore into an anode chamber. The anode chamber can include a first electrolyte and an anode. The anode can oxidize water to form O2 gas and H+ ions in the anode chamber. The iron ore can be dissolved to form Fe3+ and/or Fe2+ ions in the anode chamber. The Fe3+ and/or Fe2+ ions can be transferred from the anode chamber to a cathode chamber through a cation exchange membrane that separates the anode chamber from the cathode chamber. The cathode chamber can include a second electrolyte and a cathode. The Fe3+ and/or Fe2+ ions can be reduced to form iron metal at the cathode.
