Based on work performed by Prof. Sadoway at MIT in 1999, presented below is evidence of conversion of beryllium into liquid berillium by high-temperature electrolysis.

Consider a process in which beryllium oxide (BeO) which is found in beryllium ores is dissolved in a solvent composed of a solution of metal oxides into which are immersed two electrodes. By the action of electric current  beryllium oxide is decomposed into liquid beryllium which pools on the top of the cell and into oxygen which is vented through the top of the cell. No sintering with reactive fluorosilicate, no electrolysis of beryllium chloride, no chlorine by-product, no acid dissolution, no CO2, no dioxins.  

Biological Effects

Chronic beryllium disease (CBD), or berylliosis, is a pulmonary and systemic granulomatous disease caused by inhalation of dust or fumes contaminated with beryllium; either large amounts over a short time or small amounts over a long time can lead to this ailment. High-temperature electrolysis is conducted in sealed reactors so as to limit exposure to beryllium-containing dust and fumes. Beryllium as bulk metal or alloy is benign.
