Abstract: The chemical reactions in the system Na₃AlF₆—Si0₂—Al have been studied with regard to the aluminium electrolysis and to the potential significance of this system in the electrolytic production of Si-alloys. I t was found that dissolved silica and metallic aluminium reacted.to form Al₂0₃ and the Al —Si alloy. Possible consequences of this reaction for the electrolysis have been pointed out.
