3decomposition voltage be 1.18V, theoretical carbon consumption 0.333kg/kg (Al) (calculating by current efficiency 100%), actual carbon consumption is 0.45-0.55kg/kg (Al).Due to the purity needs of aluminium, with oil coke, make anode, its theoretical consumption is 6.32KWh/kg (Al) (calculating by current efficiency 100%); The actual new-type large-scale groove of energy expenditure is 13.5KWh/kg (Al).If use inert anode instead, electrolytic reaction formula is:
Under 1300K, Al

3decomposition voltage be 2.2V, this is because anode has neither part nor lot in reaction and energy is not provided.Therefore theoretical amount consumption is up to 9.2KWh/kg (Al), in theory, and inert anode and active anode Al between the two

3the poor 1V of decomposition voltage left and right, electrisity consumption differs about 3KWh/kg (Al).
Aluminium industry member research now replaces carbon anode with inert anode, has started one upsurge.This be because: (1), in application during carbon anode, on anode, bubble is large, and anodic overvoltage reaches 0.4V-0.6V; And application is during inert anode, on anode, bubble is little, and anodic overvoltage only has 0.2V, and this just can give 0.3V for change.(2) owing to accounting for the project of largest component in bath voltage, be that negative electrode-anode spacing is from 4-5cm, its volts lost reaches 1.6-1.8V, if application inert anode matches with inert cathode, form novel electrolytic bath, pole distance can shrink, from 4-5cm, shorten to 3cm, this is equivalent to reduce bath voltage 0.5V; (3) anode needn't often be changed, so process cost is low; (4) on anode, produce O2 gas, rather than CO2 and CO gas, be conducive to environment protection.
To the preparation of inert anode material, must reach following requirement:
(1) material solubleness in sodium aluminum fluoride-aluminum oxide liquation is little;
(2) material is little to the response capacity of the oxygen producing in aluminium liquid or anodic gas [O];
(3) material manufacturing price is cheaper and easily obtain;
(4) material is easily processed into relatively large inert anode, and is easily connected with wire;
(5) material is moistening good to cryolite melt, is difficult for occurring anode effect.
Experiment discovery, the zirconium boride 99.5004323A8ure material after high-pressure molding high temperature sintering can meet above-mentioned 5 requirements substantially.But existing zirconium boride 99.5004323A8ure industrial production is mainly by metal zirconium and pure boron direct reaction and obtaining at high temperature.Because industrial production yield not high (often lower than 90%) and the production cost of pure boron are high, the expensive of pure boron caused the expensive of zirconium boride 99.5004323A8ure, thereby limited the large-scale commercial production of zirconium boride 99.5004323A8ure.
From Hall-heroult in 1886, (Hall--Ai Lu), since aluminium reduction process comes out, the ionogen of industrial aluminum production process was always with sodium aluminum fluoride (Na

6)--commercial alumina (Al
2o
3) be primary structure, in electrolytic process, add aluminum fluoride (AlF
3thereby) to adjust the molecular ratio of electrolytic solution, reduce electrolysis temperature, increase conductivity to produce fine aluminium (≤99.7%).How further effectively reducing the electrolysis temperature of aluminium electrolysis process or effectively improve the current efficiency of aluminium electrolysis process, is the problem of nearly 100 years whole world aluminium industry primary studies.That is, how to find that some additive (salts substances) is the global aluminium industrial science man problem of primary study for a long time further to improve the physicochemical property of aluminium electrolyte and to improve electrolysis production index.This class additive (salts substances) must possess the following performance: it can not decompose (1) in aluminium electrolysis process, thereby can guarantee quality and the current efficiency of aluminium; (2) can improve sodium aluminum fluoride adding of additive--the physicochemical property of alumina solution, for example, reduce electrolytical fusing point (primary crystal point), or improve electrolytical specific conductivity.(3) for aluminum oxide, the solubleness in cryolite melt and dissolution rate do not have large impact.(4) wide material sources of additive and cheap.
Since half a century, people have studied adding electrolytical physicochemical property impact of the additives such as Calcium Fluoride (Fluorspan) (CaF2), magnesium fluoride (MgF2), lithium fluoride (LiF2), Potassium monofluoride (KF) and sodium-chlor (NaCl), find can reduce adding of these additives the primary crystal point of ionogen liquation, and lithium fluoride has the greatest impact to primary crystal point reduction value, reach 7.8 ℃ (every 1% additions).But defect of existence without exception of adding of these additives is exactly that the melting degree of commercial alumina in cryolite melt that cause more or less declines to some extent.And lithium compound price is very expensive, and it is larger that actual industrial is applied resistance.
In year in 2013, research through nearly 3 years: contriver finds in the process that with potassium base (sodium base) zirconium boron villiaumite mixture is intermediate raw material production zirconium boride 99.5004323A8ure and all kinds of alloys: if the potassium cryolite of this lower molecular ratio of the synchronous output of production process is meticulously controlled in process of production technical process and added critical anti-polymerizing agent, can substitute or part substitution of Al electrolysis production process in the fusing assistant aluminum fluoride that must add, this substitute or the alternative work of part can impel the current efficiency of Aluminium Electrolysis process at least to improve 2% left and right, the raising of current efficiency causes the production of aluminium per ton and traditional simple use aluminum fluoride fusing assistant to be spent than more electricity saving at least 500, generally, economize on electricity 700 degree left and right.
Above content is in conjunction with concrete preferred implementation further description made for the present invention, can not assert that specific embodiment of the invention is confined to these explanations.For general technical staff of the technical field of the invention, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, can also make some simple deduction or replace, all should be considered as belonging to protection scope of the present invention.
