Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cathode structure of aluminium cell, belong to the aluminium cell technical field.
Background technology
Be used for the industrial Hall-Heroult electrolyzer of aluminium at present and use carbon anode and charcoal piece negative electrode, by electrolyzing fused alumina producing aluminium, ionogen mainly is made up of sodium aluminum fluoride and alumina melt, is dissolved in wherein aluminum fluoride and other fluoride salt in addition in addition.The aluminium that electrolysis is separated out is accumulated in bottom land charcoal piece negative electrode top, forms the aluminium liquid layer, and as the part of negative electrode.Owing to the aluminium liquid in the electrolyzer is subjected to the influence campaign of the electromagnetic field workshop in, the aluminium liquid that need keep certain height reduces and the fluctuation of ionogen contact interface.The aluminum liquid horizontal of industrial cell maintenance at present is generally between 10~30cm, in the case, still need to keep the pole span about 4.5cm, the height of pole span mainly is subjected to the influence of electrolyzer stability, under the cathode construction and magnetic field condition of existing electrolyzer, further optimize the stability that Distribution of Magnetic Field improves electrolyzer, and then the reduction pole span has become a very thing of difficulty.
Existing Hall-Heroult aluminium cell, all having a general problem according to size and electrolysis process different is exactly that electric energy efficiency is lower, and generally between 45~50%, remaining electric energy all is converted into heat energy dissipation and has fallen.The pole span of existing aluminium cell generally all about 4.5cm, causes the low major cause of electric energy efficiency just to be existing common prebaked cell because the aluminium fluid wave that cause in magnetic field is moving, therefore often needs the pole span that keeps bigger for the stably manufactured that guarantees electrolyzer.
In addition, the cathode steel bar level of existing electrolyzer is installed in the bottom of cathode carbon pieces, electric current compiles to the termination of cathode steel bar after entering cathode carbon pieces by aluminium liquid gradually, cause producing in the aluminium liquid bigger horizontal current, horizontal current is an important factor that influences electrolyzer stability, therefore, an important factor of raising electrolyzer stability is the elimination of level electric current; The flow through path length of negative electrode of this kind cathode construction, electric current, the contact resistance of cathode steel bar and cathode carbon pieces is big, causes the cathode drop height, and this also is to cause existing electrolyzer energy consumption height, the factor that electric energy efficiency is lower.
Electric energy efficiency is hanged down and has been caused the meaningless consumption of huge electric energy on the industrial cell, and the energy-saving and cost-reducing means of aluminium cell have two kinds, and a kind of is to improve current efficiency, and another kind is exactly to reduce pole span, reduces bath voltage.And existing electrolyzer, mostly between 90~96%, the space of improving current efficiency is limited for current efficiency.Aluminum current electrolyzer pole span is generally about 4.5~5cm, the pressure drop that pole span brings is about 40% of total energy consumption, the energy-saving and cost-reducing very big space that provides is provided in the reduction of pole span, but because the restriction of traditional this body structure of electrolyzer, reduce pole span, because the aluminium liquid electrolyte interface influence of fluctuations that brought by magnetic field, it is unstable that electrolyzer will become, lose current efficiency, be difficult to reach purpose of energy saving.
