Hi lara2005:
This reference shows that in "Schmelzflusselektrolyse", kryolite is added (to lower the melting temperature).

fused-salt electrolysis

I'm not a metallurgist - my Dad was - so I can't guarantee this is the correct solution in this context.

The reduction of aluminium oxide is carried out by fused salt electrolysis. The electrolytic cell consists of a graphite vessel (cathode) into which graphite blocks (anode) project from above. Metallic aluminium (and slag as a waste product) are formed from the aluminium oxide due to the current flow (light arc) in the cell.

agree Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. : This is what is "literally" specified here. This is, in fact, equivalent to the Hall-He'roult process. In fused salt electrolysis no cryolite would be added.

Hall-Héroult process

That's how the Americans (and Hall, one of the inventors, was American) apparently call it.
