Preparation of Aluminium Electrolytic Anode Coating by Utilizing Waste
Aluminium Dross
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to the field of aluminium electrolysis carbon anode protection and
comprehensive utilization of waste aluminium dross resources, in particular to a
preparation of aluminium electrolysis anode coating by utilizing waste aluminium dross.
BACKGROUND
Aluminium electrolysis is a molten salt electrolysis process with carbon material as the
anode. At present, for every ton of metal aluminium produced, 333.3 kg of carbon
material is theoretically consumed, and the actual consumption of carbon material is
about 450 kg/t of aluminium. The threshing, lumps and oxidative combustion of the
anode during use are the main reasons for the increase in the consumption of carbon
materials. Among them, the anodic oxidation burning loss is due to the carbon block
being exposed to the atmosphere, and the high-temperature carbon oxidizes with oxygen
and carbon dioxide in the air, resulting in carbon consumption. The aluminium
electrolysis temperature is around 960 °C. During the production of aluminium
electrolysis, because the anode carbon material is directly exposed to the atmosphere, the
high-temperature carbon material contacts, oxidizes, and burns with oxygen in the air,
resulting in an empty consumption of the carbon material, which is an important factor
that affects the consumption of carbon material higher than the theoretical consumption
the reason. After calculation, for every ton of aluminium produced, the added value of
carbon material consumption due to anodic oxidation is about 10-20 kg/t Al. According to
the calculation of my country's annual production of 33 million tons of electrolytic aluminium, the added value of carbon material consumption caused by anode oxidation and combustion due to contact with air is about 495,000 tons.
Aluminium dross is a by-product of aluminium and aluminium alloy casting process. In
2016, during the process of aluminium and aluminium alloy casting in my country, about
4.46 million tons of aluminium dross was produced. The chemical composition of
aluminium dross is metal aluminium, fluoride salt, chloride salt, alumina, aluminium
nitride, aluminium carbide, and metal oxides such as silicon, iron, magnesium,
manganese, zinc, and copper. At present, the domestic and foreign recycling of
aluminium dross only stays at the stage of recycling the massive metallic aluminium in
the primary aluminium dross. The fine metal aluminium particles, which account for
about 20% of the mass of aluminium slag, and the alumina resources, which account for
about 40%- 5 0% of the mass of aluminium slag, have not yet been effectively recycled.
This part of aluminium dross resources is often landfilled or discarded, which wastes
resources and pollutes the environment.
SUMMARY
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing aluminium
electrolytic anode coating by using waste aluminium dross in response to the above
mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.
The above purpose is achieved through the following schemes.
A method for preparing aluminium electrolytic anode coating by using waste aluminium
dross is characterized in that the composition of the anode anti-oxidation coating is
composed of hydrated lime, calcium aluminate, dry matter from electrolysis-dehydration of aluminium dross aqueous solution (a mixture of sodium aluminate and potassium metaaluminate), alumina, sodium tripolyphosphate and other components.
According to the composition of the above-mentioned anodic coating formulation, it is
characterized in that the composition of the anodic anti-oxidation coating formulation is
as follows: 5%-15% hydrated lime + 10%- 2 5 % calcium aluminate + 15%- 7 0% dry matter
+ 1%- 3 % sodium tripolyphosphate + industrial alumina.
An invention for preparing aluminium electrolytic anode coating using waste aluminium
dross is characterized in that the preparation of the anodic anti-oxidation coating is
divided into two stages. Wherein, the first stage is the preparation of aluminium dross and
the second stage is the anodic anti-oxidation coating ingredients processing.
According to the above-mentioned use of waste aluminium dross to prepare aluminium
electrolytic anode coating, the first stage aluminium dross preparation process is as
follows:
Weigh a certain mass of aluminium dross and analyse the content of aluminium and
alumina in the aluminium dross. Add aluminium dross into the electrolytic cell, add
enough water to fully dissolve the salt-containing components (chlorine salt, fluoride
salt), fully hydrolyse aluminium nitride, and convert aluminium in aluminium nitride and
aluminium carbide into oxidation aluminium. The aluminium, alumina, iron oxide, and
silicon oxide in the generated alumina and aluminium dross are deposited on the bottom
of the electrolyser. The hydrolysis reaction of aluminium nitride and aluminium carbide is
as follows:
2AlN+3H20--Al203+2NH3
A14C3+6H20--2Al203+3CH4t
Direct current is applied to the salt solution, and NaCl and KCl in the salt component are
electrolyzed to prepare NaOH and KOH. The electrolysis reaction of salt is as follows:
2NaCl+ 2H20 --* 2NaOH + H27 + Cl27
2KC1+ 2H20 --* 2KOH + H27 + Cl27
Use the nano NaOH and KOH prepared by electrolysis to directly dissolve the
precipitated aluminium and alumina at the bottom of the electrolyser, thereby preparing a
mixed solution of sodium aluminate and potassium metaaluminate: Mixed solution of
sodium and potassium metaaluminate:
NaOH + Al -- Na20 -A1203+ H27
KOH + Al -> K20-A1203+ H27T
NaOH + A1203 -- Na20 -A1203+ H20
KOH + A1203 -> K20 -A1203+ H20
After removing iron and silicon from the solution, press filter treatment is performed. The
main components of the filter residue are iron oxide and calcium orthosilicate, which are
sent to the storage yard; the filtrate is sodium aluminate and potassium metaaluminate.
The sodium aluminate filtrate is evaporated to obtain the dry matter, a mixture of sodium
aluminate and potassium metaaluminate, which is then as a raw material for preparing
aluminium electrolytic anode coating material.
According to the above-mentioned use of waste aluminium dross to prepare aluminium
electrolytic anode coating, the second-stage anode anti-oxidation coating batching
process is as follows
According to the formula of aluminium electrolytic anode coating ingredients, weigh
hydrated lime, calcium aluminate, dry matter, sodium tripolyphosphate, and industrial alumina according to the proportion requirements. The mixture is charged into a mixing and ball milling device for mixing and ball milling. The ball-milled product is sieved with
100-500 meshes. The coarse particles on the sieve are returned to the mixing and ball
milling device. The fine particles under the sieve are inspected, packaged, and put into
storage. The treatment process is shown in Figure 1.
The aluminium electrolytic anode coating prepared by the use of waste aluminium dross
of the present invention can use waste aluminium dross resources as raw materials to
recycle aluminium, alumina, and salt resources in the waste aluminium slag, thereby
realizing the purpose of recycling the waste and environmentally polluting aluminium
dross. The invention uses waste aluminium dross to prepare aluminium electrolytic anode
coating, which is automatically sintered into a firm protective shell under electrolytic
process conditions, provides excellent protection for carbon anodes, and blocks the effect
of atmospheric oxygen on high-temperature carbon anodes. oxidation. As the anode is
consumed, the coating shell components gradually dissolve in the electrolyte, and their
components do not change the electrolyte composition and do not affect the existing
electrolysis process. The main components are converted into calcium fluoride, sodium
fluoride, and alumina. These components can participate in the aluminium electrolysis
reaction and are the raw materials and fluoride salt additives required for electrolysis
production. The anode coating has the advantages of recycling waste aluminium dross,
reducing anode carbon oxidation consumption, prolonging the life of anode carbon block,
reducing the amount of raw materials used for electrolytic production of alumina, calcium
fluoride, sodium fluoride, etc., thereby reducing production costs.
