The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of aluminium from alumina comprising a first step of converting alumina (AI2O3) into aluminiumsulphide (AI2S3) and a second step of separation of aluminium from aluminiumsulphide in a separating reactor, and wherein in the first step in a conversion reactor alumina is dissolved in a molten salt to form a melt and a sulphur containing gas is fed through the melt whereby the sulphur containing gas acts as a reagent to convert at least part of the alumina into aluminiumsulphide and at least part of the melt is used in the second step, and further the invention relates to an apparatus for operating the method.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de production en continu d'aluminium à partir d'alumine. La première opération est la conversion d'alumine (Al2O3) en sulfure d'aluminium (Al2S3). La deuxième opération est la séparation, dans un réacteur, entre aluminium et sulfure d'aluminium. En l'occurrence, pour la première opération, on utilise un convertisseur donnant une solution d'alumine dans un sel fondu, donnant un produit fondu, un gaz soufré traversant le produit fondu où il fonctionne réactif convertissant au moins une partie de l'alumine en sulfure d'alumine. Une partie au moins du produit fondu sert pour la deuxième opération. L'invention concerne également un appareil pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé.
