Description

The anode mix and the compound method thereof that are used for electrolysis of aluminum
The invention belongs to used for aluminium electrolysis anode mix and compound method thereof, in the anode mix of used for aluminium electrolysis, mix Quilonum Retard (Li 2CO 3) after, can reduce the anode overvoltage, thereby reach the purpose of saves energy.
The method of electrolytic aluminum in the Cryolite-Alumina system, since the Hall-Heroult patent of invention, existing centenary history, aluminium electrolytic industry is still continued to use this method now, this method energy consumption is big, its electric energy efficiency has only 40%, under current energy starved situation, and the energy-conservation outstanding problem that becomes aluminium industry how.
The production of laboratory and factory all proves, in industrial current density range, the counter-electromotive force that the two poles of the earth produce is the 1.6-1.7 volt, more much bigger than theoretical decomposition voltage value (1.08-1.19 volt), the difference of these two is negative electrode overvoltage and anode overvoltage sum, and the negative electrode overvoltage is very little, be generally the 40-80 millivolt, the anode overvoltage then accounts for 80-90%, is about the 0.4-0.6 volt, and so high anode overvoltage has caused very big waste of energy.But for a long time, people think that the anode overvoltage in the electrolysis of aluminum is difficult to reduce.In recent years, the work of domestic this respect has had certain progress, Xiao of Zhongnan Polytechnic Univ hamming, Liu Yexiang deliver the paper (1986 that is entitled as " electro catalytic activity of different doping carbon anodes research during electrolysis of aluminum " in the academic annual meeting of national light metal in 8 or six years, 1), this paper is said, as anode material, it is mixed Li with the spectroscopically pure graphite rod with physics or chemical process 2CO 3, being used for electrolysis of aluminum then, discovery can reduce about 0.2 volt of anode overvoltage, but this paper is not to doping process, Li 2CO 3Content and effect thereof are made detailed report.
Existing anode mix production technique generally is such, under 1150-1350 ℃ temperature, with siccative calcination in rotary kiln, again through the jaw crusher fragmentation, the granularity requirements of broken back siccative: φ 2-4: 21-26%, φ 1-2: 10-16%, φ 0-1 do not require, φ (0.15)-0.075: 45-51%; Qualified siccative is prepared burden with pitch again, requires siccative: pitch=(68-72): (28-32); The bituminous temperature is greater than 140 ℃; Pinch mixing to pinch to mix in the pot then, mix the temperature requirement pinched between 130-170 ℃, mix and pinch, pour institute at last into and require in the shapes of containers water cooling moulding until evenly.
The objective of the invention is to work out a kind of new anode mix, find out Li in this new anode mix 2CO 3Suitable content range, make it have the effect that reduces the anode overvoltage significantly, thereby reduce the power consumption of electrolysis of aluminum significantly.
Another object of the present invention is to find out the processing method that a kind of anode mix of advantages of simple is mixed Quilonum Retard, to adapt to big industrial production.
A further object of the present invention is to find out a kind of new Li that adds in aluminium cell 2CO 3Method, to replace directly in electrolyzer, adding originally Li 2CO 3Method, thereby reduce Li 2CO 3Mechanical loss, reduce labour intensity, overcome shortcomings such as lithium fluoride in the ionogen (LiF) content instability.
The present invention is a kind of new anode mix, and it is to account for by account for 68-72% and pitch through calcination, the qualified siccative in broken back that 28-32% and Quilonum Retard are mixed to be pinched formulatedly, and it adds Li 2CO 3Amount be that the above-mentioned percentage ratio of 0.09-0.9%(of siccative and pitch weight sum is weight percentage, as follows).This new anode mix can reduce anode overvoltage 110-250 millivolt.
In order to prepare a kind of new anode mix of the present invention, its processing method is with siccative calcination under 1150-1350 ℃ temperature, siccative after fragmentation is qualified accounts for 68-72% and accounts for 28-32% and Quilonum Retard greater than 140 ℃ pitch and mix and pinch to evenly, mixing the temperature pinch is 130-170 ℃, mixes wherein a kind of mode of pinching in preceding, siccative and the pitch kneading process at siccative and pitch and adds Li 2CO 3, Li 2CO 3Add-on be the 0.09-0.9% of siccative and pitch weight sum.
In order to reduce the anode overvoltage biglyyer, reduce the power consumption of electrolysis of aluminum, add Li in the new anode mix 2CO 3Amount be that the 0.20-0.45% of siccative and pitch weight sum is for well.The Li that in anode mix, contains the 0.20-0.45% of promising siccative and pitch weight sum 2CO 3, can reduce anode overvoltage 170-250 millivolt; And Li in the anode mix 2CO 3Content less than siccative and pitch weight sum 0.2% or greater than accounting for 0.45% of siccative and pitch weight sum, it is relatively poor to reduce anode overvoltage effect.Li in the anode mix 2CO 3Content should be less than 0.09% of siccative and pitch weight sum, should be greater than 0.9% of siccative and pitch weight sum yet, this is because electrolysis of aluminum is at sodium aluminum fluoride (Na 3ALF 6) an aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3) carry out in the molten salt system, this individual system is issued to balance in used electrolysis production condition, and its physicochemical property (as the primary crystal temperature, than resistance, viscosity etc.) also reach stable, and all advantages of the present invention are to be based upon not destroy Na 3AlF 6-Al 2O 3On the system equilibrated basis.If Li in the anode mix 2CO 3Add-on reduced the poor effect of anode overvoltage greater than 0.9% o'clock of siccative and pitch weight sum, and that main is high-load Li in the anode mix 2CO 3Along with anodic consumption falls into electrolyzer, cause a large amount of accumulation, so that destroy Na 3AlF 6-Al 2O 3The balance of system; If add Li in the anode mix 2CO 3Amount less than siccative and pitch weight sum 0.09% o'clock, the effect that reduces the anode overvoltage is not good yet, can not keep Na separately in addition 3AlF 6-Al 2O 3The basic content of lithium fluoride in the system.
The said siccative of the present invention is wherein a kind of of refinery coke, pitch coke, coking Jiao, or the mixture of two kinds, three kinds suitable proportions, with pure refinery coke, pitch coke for well.Siccative granularity requirements after the jaw crusher fragmentation is same as the prior art, and is in common knowledge for those skilled in the art, is specially: φ 2-4: 21-26%, and φ 1-2: 10-16%, φ 0-1 does not require, φ (0.15)-0.075: 45-51%.Siccative is calcination in rotary kiln, and the temperature of calcination is between 1150 °-1350 ℃, if be lower than 1150 ℃, the physical and chemical performance of siccative after the calcination (as ash, fugitive constituent, proportion etc.) does not reach requirement; If greater than 1350 ℃, then cause energy dissipation, also make rotary kiln be easy to breakage.The bituminous temperature must not be lower than 140 ℃ between 140 °-160 ℃, otherwise pitch is unfavorable for mixed pinching too firmly; If greater than 160 ℃, then waste energy, kneading temperature remains on 130 °-170 ℃ for well, to be suitable for the keeping bituminous temperature, to help mixing and pinches.Mix the time pinch with 40-60 minute for good, keeps enough mixed pinching the time, with guarantee to mix pinch evenly, but mixed to pinch the time oversize, then is the waste of manpower and materials.
In anode mix, mix Li simultaneously into the 0.09-0.9% of siccative and pitch weight sum 2CO 3With the magnesium fluoride (MgF that is the 0.1-0.5% of siccative and pitch weight sum 2), also can reduce about 100 millivolts of anode overvoltages, its effect is mixed the Li into the 0.09-0.9% of siccative and pitch weight sum more separately 2CO 3Difference.
A kind of new anode mix of the present invention is mixed Li 2CO 3Mode have two kinds, first kind is the Li that once adds aequum before pinching mixing 2CO 3; Second method is the Li with aequum 2CO 3In kneading process, add several times.Li in the anode mix of second method 2CO 3Distribution even a little than the anode mix of first method, but Li 2CO 3Mechanical loss is bigger in the interpolation process.
Replace Li with lithium salts such as lithium fluoride (LiF), lithium chlorides 2CO 3Join in the anode mix, can obtain and add Li 2CO 3Similar effects, but the price of lithium salts such as lithium fluoride, lithium chloride is than Li 2CO 3So costliness is to add Li 2CO 3Best.
When a kind of new anode mix of the present invention is used for the self-roasting tank, puts into and consume shallow anode case, rely on the automatic roasting of temperature of electrolysis self to become anode; When being used to give the roasting groove, roasting in advance becomes anode in the container of requirement specification, is used further on the electrolyzer, and its technological process is that those skilled in the art are in common knowledge.
Advantage of the present invention is: the first, and a kind of new anode mix of the present invention can reduce anode overvoltage 110-250 millivolt.Under existing working condition, current efficiency is 89%, and then the consumption of direct current of aluminium per ton reduces the 368-837 degree.
The second, a kind of new anode mix compounding process advantages of simple of the present invention is suitable for big industrial production.Anode mix is mixed Li 2CO 3Process need not to increase equipment, do not increase the cost of Aluminium Electrolysis, because the original Li that just needs to consume same amount yet 2CO 3
The 3rd, a kind of new anode mix of the present invention is used for aluminium electrolysis anode, also is along with anode consumption Li wherein 2CO 3Evenly fall into electrolyzer, in electrolyzer, directly add Li originally thereby replaced 2CO 3Link, reduced labour intensity, reduced Li 2CO 3Fly upward loss, and overcome the original Li that directly adds 2CO 3Inhomogeneous and cause the unsettled shortcoming of lithium fluoride content in the ionogen.
The 4th, a kind of new anode mix of the present invention also can reduce the consumption of aluminium electrolysis anode, has promptly reduced the carbon consumption.Because reducing the anode overvoltage is exactly the speed of response of having accelerated carbon and oxygen, promptly the speed of response of the fixed carbon in siccative and the pitch and oxygen is tending towards synchronously in the anode mix, has then overcome preferentially consumption and cause the phenomenon of peeling off of siccative of fixed carbon in the pitch.
The 5th, a kind of new anode mix of the present invention can improve the current efficiency of electrolysis of aluminum.Because Li 2CO 3Can quicken the speed of response of oxygen and carbon, reality has just reduced the chance that aluminium contacts with oxygen on anode, has promptly reduced the secondary reaction loss of aluminium.
Following indefiniteness embodiment more specifically describes the present invention, and protection scope of the present invention is not subjected to the qualification of these embodiment.
