Abstract

The invention discloses an energy-saving cathode carbon block structure of an aluminum cell, which comprises cathode carbon blocks (1) and cathode steel bars (6), wherein the cathode carbon blocks (1) are arranged in parallel along the length direction according to a conventional mode; break joints among the cathode carbon blocks (1) are tied firmly by using a carbon element paste (2) to form a cuboid cathode structure; and the upper part of the cathode carbon blocks (1) is provided with an aluminum storage pool (4) and a spout. Carbon blocks (3) are in adhesive connection with the cathode carbon blocks (1). By using the energy-saving cathode carbon block structure, a great deal of aluminum liquid in an electrolytic cell is stored in the aluminum storage pool, and the fluctuation generated by the influence on the aluminum liquid by electromagnetic force is limited by the aluminum storage pool. Simultaneously, the processed (adhered) cathode carbon blocks change the resistance of conventional cathodes to ensure that the resistance from the aluminum storage pool to the cathode steel bars is greatly lower than that from the surface of a cathode to the cathode steel bar, so a great deal of current flows to the cathode steel bars from the aluminum storage pool, the horizontal current on the cathode surface is greatly reduced, the electromagnetic force is weakened and the fluctuation of the aluminum fluid is reduced.

Description

Energy-saving cathode carbon block structure of aluminum cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cathode structure of aluminium cell.
Background technology
General aluminium cell is the box-shaped of a rectangular parallelepiped at present, and molten cryolitic electrolytic solution and the aluminium liquid of 900 ~ 1000 ℃ of left and right is equipped with in inside.Electrolyzer is provided with riser bus bar in a side of long axis direction, and electric current enters the anode beams on groove thus.The carbon annode that is suspended on anode beams is immersed in electrolytic solution, generates aluminium liquid with electrolytic solution generation chemical reaction, and aluminium liquid is termly by outside task equipment sucking-off groove.In the bottom of electrolyzer, by some carbon anode/cathodes that are built-in with rod iron, electric current to be derived outside groove, electric current is pooled on the riser bus bar of next platform trough by the negative busbar that is arranged on the electrolyzer surrounding.Electrolyzer is sent to electric current on downstream slot from upstream slot by the series system of a plurality of resistance.In this process, the volts lost that exists due to each resistance forms the full groove pressure drop of electrolyzer, thereby needs to consume a large amount of electric energy.
The electric energy efficiency of Aluminium Electrolysis (η E) refers to the metallic aluminium of production some amount, the ratio of the energy that should consume in theory (W reason) and the energy (W is real) that in fact consumes, that is:
η E=W reason/W in fact * 100%
By calculating, when adopting the active anode aluminium metallurgy, the theoretical power consumption of every kg aluminium is 6.33kwh; And the state-of-the-art electrolytic aluminium factory of our times---the 325kA electrolytic series of Quebec, CAN, its power consumption reaches 9.0kwh, and hence one can see that, and the electric energy efficiency η E of its electrolysis of aluminum is: η E=W reason/W reality * 100%=6.33/9.0=48.7%.This shows, the utilization rate of electrical of Aluminium Electrolysis is very low, and energy-saving potential is very large.
In Aluminium Electrolysis, energy-conservation approach is a lot.In theory, the power consumption rate only depends on that the average voltage V of current efficiency and electrolyzer is flat.And the average voltage of aluminium cell mainly comprises three parts, that is:
V puts down=Δ V groove+Δ mother V+Δ V effect
In following formula: Δ V groove is electric tank working voltage, comprises that anode, negative electrode, electrolyte voltage are fallen and counter-electromotive force (or claiming actual decomposition voltage), as shown in the formula expression:
V groove=Δ V sun+Δ V the moon+Δ V matter+E is anti-
Δ V is female to fall for the outer busbar voltage of groove, and the outer bus of groove mainly contains and connects bus etc. between positive bar and groove.When electric current passes through these buses, will cause the resistive voltage loss, although they are very little, certain electrolysis loss is arranged.In addition, the contact position of bus and bus (welding or crimping) also can produce contact drop.
Δ V effect is shared volts lost for anode effect.
In the electrolyzer production process, when generating effect, bath voltage can raise suddenly, and this also can cause the extra consumption of electric energy, and it is shared out equally in whole electrolytic series on each electrolyzer, is called anode effect and shares voltage.
Typical case's electrolyzer each several part voltage is composed as follows:
By above theory as can be known, after design of electrolysis cells was completed, its cathode drop, anode drop, bus pressure drop namely can be considered constant.And to share the ratio of the shared full bath voltage of voltage less with producing relevant effect, controls this part and be difficult to decrease groove average voltage.As seen from the above table, electrolyte voltage is fallen and has been accounted for 35%~40% of average voltage, is one of key project that reduces the electrolyzer average voltage.
At present, the reduction method for the ionogen pressure drop mainly contains two kinds:
First method: improve electrolyte ingredient, improve electrolytical electric conductivity;
Second method: reduce pole span (distance on anode and aluminium liquid surface), namely reduce the resistance of electrolyte melt;
For first method, testing laboratory's test data shows, when molecular ratio increases by 0.1, its specific conductivity approximately increases by 1.5%.Corresponding ionogen pressure drop can reduce by 1.5%.Yet, will reduce current efficiency again after molecular ratio is too high, therefore, the method only is suitable for slightly reducing the energy consumption of electrolyzer, and at present the molecular ratio of industrial cell generally all between 2.0~2.6, can obtain economic target preferably.
Reduce the method for pole span for the second, depend primarily on the situation of metal wave in electrolyzer.We know, by conductor, environment are around produced powerful magnetic field when direct current.Aluminium liquid in electrolyzer just in time is in the magnetic field that column, positive bar, negative busbar produce, and itself is current-carrying conductor, and therefore, aluminium liquid can be subject to the impact of the action of a magnetic field power and move.In electrolyzer, " magnetomechanical effects " occurs in the effect that is subject to the magnetic field vertical component due to the horizontal current component in aluminium liquid; In addition, ionogen and aluminium liquid also are subject to the stirring action of anodic gas.Aluminium liquid surface can produce distortion under these circumstances; After these distortion are large, will cause the fluctuation on aluminium liquid surface, thereby bring difficulty for reducing pole span.Therefore, how suppressing the fluctuation at aluminium liquid interface, is to reduce the key that pole span reduces voltage.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: a kind of energy-saving cathode carbon block structure of aluminum cell is provided, this structure is suppressed at the fluctuation of aluminium liquid in a scope, pole span is effectively reduced, reduce the electrolyzer average voltage, waits greatly deficiency with the fluctuation at the aluminium liquid interface that overcomes that prior art exists.
