Calcium electrolysis with alternative salts
Shouldn't it be easy (in theory) to find a Calcium salt with a low melting point (CaH2PO4 melts at 109°C) and perform an ordinary electrolysis to
obtain Calcium? Calcium is said to be hard to make by an amateur

I would think using an acid phosphate the hydrogen would be released first.
Using a eutectic with salts that can not be reduced easily, from memory the eutectic can contain sodium or potassium. I think there is a thread about
it.
Sorry I could not find the thread.

I am wg48 but not on my usual pc hence the temp handle.

Damn I wish I could find this thread. Do you remember any details, like what the anions could have been?

I had an other search and found the following but I don't think its the one I was thinking about.
We successfully made a small amount of calcium metal by electrolysis of a barium chloride, calcium chloride, strontium chloride and potassium chloride
(http://www.google.com/patents/US3226311). Addition of the other chlorides lowers the melting point of the mixture to around 600 C (and calcium is
pretty much the product). We were wondering if barium could be made in a similar way.
Does anyone know anything about this?

Search for "Calcium electrolysis" there are a few more
