A method of rapidly cooling molten mixtures of alkali metal alloys in
which the metal components of said alloys have a wide divergence of
melting points that result in separation of the alkali metals during cool
down. A calcium-sodium alloy is produced in an electrolysis cell. A
method of high pressure atomization of the calcium-sodium alloy and its
subsequent rapid cooling produces a calcium nodular particulate that is
encased in a sodium flocculant. The material manufactured is used as a
nodular electrolytic flocculant reactant in the electrolyte of an
alkaline battery.
