Description

Comprise the electrolyzer of anode assemblies lifting device
Technical field
The present invention relates to by the bathing pool (hereinafter referred to as " cryolite bathing pool ") comprising cryolite Electrolyzer in electrolysis produce aluminum general technology field.
Relate more specifically to include that the electrolyzer of multiple lifting device, this lifting device are used for promoting bag The anode assemblies being contained in electrolyzer, each anode assemblies has at least one previously baked type Carbon annode.
Background technology
Electrolysis by being dissolved in the Alumina in cryolite bathing pool produces aluminum mostly.
At present, in such a electrolyzer, perform the production of aluminum at industrial scale, this electrolyzer It is made up of the steel tank shell of opened upper end, and the bottom of this electrolyzer is covered by refractory material, a moon Pole extends on this refractory material, the cryolite bath of multiple immersions installed above 930 DEG C to 980 DEG C The anode assemblies in pond.
Each anode assemblies includes an anode construction, and this anode construction is by an anode rod and consolidates Determine device composition, this anode construction is connected with at least one anode, specifically one previously baked Carbon block.
Between anode assemblies and negative electrode, apply electric current be used for starting cell reaction.
Electrolyzer common operation temperature is between 930 DEG C and 980 DEG C, and the aluminum of production is liquid. On the negative electrode sealed, it is because of gravity sedimentation.Generally, the aluminum of production or the part aluminum of production are cast Bag is drawn and is sent to cast smelting furnace.
Carbon annode is gradually used up during cell reaction.Once it is finished one of anode assemblies, its Will be replaced by a new anode assemblies.
Electric current distribution the most equal between anode assemblies produces yield for the aluminum obtained It is a need for.Here it is must accurately control the position of anode surface, the position of this anode surface why Put and limited by the lower side of the anode in anode assemblies.
But, must constantly adjust towards the position of the anode surface of the cathode layer of liquid aluminium to consider The change of parameter, such as:
The height of-aluminium lamination, then this highly stable increase drastically declines when metal flows out,
The progressive wear of-anode surface.
Positioning anode face is generally realized by a ground jack and connecting rod component system, and this system is moved Dynamic anode superstructure and the multiple anode assemblies being fixed and attached to this anode superstructure.
This movement is positioned at the ground jack of the anode superstructure above electrolyzer and connecting rod system has The shortcoming producing large volume above electrolyzer.Arrange that height and the cost of the building of electrolyzer depend on Depending on the height of electrolyzer, therefore the program is unsatisfactory.
It addition, the movement being connected to the anode superstructure of multiple anode assemblies does not allow the position of anode assemblies Putting critically, adjust individually, this adjustment makes it possible to antagonism:
The overspeed of-the electrolyzer relevant with anode effect, this by record anode voltage and Directly revise them as long as only promoting the following anode assemblies starting anode effect thus just occur Detect that these anode effects realize,
-between anode assemblies unequal CURRENT DISTRIBUTION,
The local heterogeneity feature of-temperature or bathing pool component,
-the shape at metal-bathing pool interface that causes due to the change of map of current in bathing pool and metal Change.
From patent document US3575827, it is known that one comprises the ground jack that formed by main body and bar Lifting device, the longitudinal side wall against the pot shell of electrolyzer arranges ground jack main body, and the freedom of bar End is as the supporting construction for anode assemblies.The shortcoming of this equipment is the longitudinal side wall of pot shell, Specifically at liquid level, the hottest and have radiation to such an extent as to the operation of ground jack and its life-span can be moved back Change.Additionally, the position of the ground jack at the longitudinal side wall of pot shell hinders heat exchange, this heat is handed over Change the size that must be adjusted to control in electrolyzer the slope formed, such as, by from patent Publication WO99/54526 is known blows.Further, since the height of anode block abrasion exists In existing electrolyzer very big, ground jack stroke must the big to such an extent as to overall size of ground jack, especially It is longitudinal size, is problematic when being resisted against wall location, especially because by many The confined space between the electrolyzer of the electric conductor of Faradaic current.Lifting device is also not involved in supply electricity Solution electric current is to anode assemblies to such an extent as to when anode assemblies is changed, in order to reconnect new anode assemblies Power supply conductor must additionally be processed.

Each anode assemblies 3 includes at least one anode 31 and anode construction 32.In cell reaction Period, the anode 31 being immersed in rock quartz bathing pool 14 is consumed.Anode assemblies 3 needs to be determined Phase ground is replaced.
Anode 31 is previously baked type, one piece of carbon containing previously baked before being i.e. inserted into electrolyzer Material.
First anode construction 32 can support and manipulate anode 31, secondly can be to its supply of electrical energy. Each anode construction 32 forms the independence for its relevant anode 31 and supports.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, anode assemblies 3 extends transversely with in electrolyzer, and electrolyzer The multiple anode assemblies being arranged side by side including the longitudinal axis along electrolyzer, along electrolyzer.

Therefore defining such a capture set, this capture set, in addition to guiding the basic function of gas, has It is also used as tying up the band of the assembly being made up of pot shell 1 and constraint room 2 and being used as electrolysis body The connection of many assemblies (such as, lifting device or drilling equipment) in pond supports.Compose to capture set Giving many functions makes the size limiting electrolyzer be possibly realized with saving structure.
Lifting device 6 allows the anode construction 32 of suspention anode 31 to be operated.Specifically, promote Device 6 moves anode assemblies 3 with being used for vertical translation so that adjusting sun during cell operation The position of pole-face.
Each anode construction 32 associates with two lifting devices being each located on its one end.By this The mode of kind, the movement of each anode construction 32 is tied independent of other anodes being included in electrolyzer Structure 32 and the movement of anode assemblies.Therefore anode assemblies 3 can be vertically movable independently of one another.
Each lifting device 6 contacts with the respective end of anode construction 32.Associate with anode construction 32 Two lifting devices 6 be connected to controller (not shown) with their operation of Synchronization Control. Move while which ensure that the end of anode construction 32, to keep it when anode construction moves Basic horizontal.Controller can also be programmed to control translational speed and the direction of anode construction 32. This makes the translational speed changing anode construction 32 according to ongoing action type be possibly realized. Such as, in the case of the anode assemblies new with replaces an anode assemblies that run out of 3, The translational speed of anode construction 32 can be than anode construction 32 when adjusting anode surface during being electrolysed Translational speed big, such adjustment requires fine setting.
Each lifting device 6 includes a ground jack 61 and an anode receptor 62.
Ground jack 61 is for translationally vertically moving anode receptor 62 along translation shaft T-T'.Rise Treasure 61 includes main body 611 and the bar 612 extended along longitudinal axis B-B'.Advantageously, lifting Device 61 can be pneumatic or electronic to bear the high temperature generally existed near electrolyzer.
Anode receptor 62 includes a square extended along the longitudinal axis overlapped with translation shaft T-T' Tee section rod 621.The end that the top of rod 621 includes being designed to accepting anode construction 32 Base 622, its shape is complementary with the latter.
Specifically, base 622 can be U-type structure, and this structure is erected by substrate 6221, two Facing plate 6222 directly to form, this substrate 6221 extends in the face being perpendicular to translation shaft T-T', and this erects Facing plate directly to be perpendicular to substrate 6221 and extend, the end of this anode construction 32 is suitable to bear at vertical plane In substrate 6221 between plate 6222.
Lifting device can also include a fixed system.This fixed system is used for tying anode Structure 32 is connected to base 622.Such as, fixed system includes that one is intended to be inserted in vertical panel The most threaded bar in the transverse holes of 6222, this hole is arranged in vertical panel 6222 So that bar transversely extends with it above anode construction when bar is installed in base 622.
Fixed system can include for making anode construction 32 be close to the device on surface of base 622, Preferably it is close to the substrate 6221 of base 622.Such as, fixed system can include a bolt With a female thread, this bolt is designed to advances through hole, and this female thread is in the substrate of base 622 6221 and anode construction 32 in be correspondingly set.The bolt head being resisted against anode construction 32 is true Protect its substrate 6221 being close to base 622.
When anode construction 32 vertically moves to the substrate 10 of pot shell 1, fixed system hinders sun Electrode structure 32 exposes from base 622.Caused at rock quartz bathing pool 14 by electrolytic production of aluminum Solidified shell is formed on surface.Anode 31 is frozen in this solidified shell.
Anode construction 32 is made to vertically move to the substrate 10 of pot shell 1 in order to reduce anode 31 Period, solidified shell it is applied to the stress on anode 31, specifically frictional force, can be with proportion Power is big, causes anode construction to depart from the risk of base.
The existence of fixed system can limit this risk, especially at anode 31 to pot shell 1 Bottom 10 trends towards keeping it in by applying pulling force on anode construction 32 during vertically moving The inner side of base 622.
Advantageously, from Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 it can be seen that a part 6211 for rod (such as, is more leaned on The end of the bottom of nearly pot shell 12 or the top of base 622) it is electrically connected to flexible electrical conduction dress Put 7 to provide energy through base 622 to anode assemblies 3.
Advantageously, anode receptor 62 is configured to the longitudinal direction of translation shaft T-T' and ground jack 61 Axle B-B' separates (that is, differing) with parallel.
This makes relative ground jack 61 biased anode receptor 62 so that limiting the height of lifting device 6 Degree.This makes lifting device 6 first have a minimum constructive height (that is, along the longitudinal axis of ground jack Equipment size), secondly can be preferably and more easily between two adjacent electrolyzers It is set in available little space, to be positioned at the edge of electrolyzer.
This lifting device 6 then can be positioned in the edge of electrolyzer.
It provide and replace anode assemblies 3 by electrolyzer top and lifting device 6 does not hinder anode The probability of the vertical movement of the replacement of assembly 3, it means that it is expected to save the biggest structure. Make at location, constraint outside ground jack it addition, opposite anode receptor 62 biases ground jack 61 61 and anode receptor 62 constraint indoor be possibly realized.By limit its be exposed to gas and Heat radiation reduces the risk that ground jack 61 damages.Ground jack can be mounted pot shell To reduce the volume of constraint indoor lifting device in free space between the reinforcing bracket of 1.
Different solutions can be considered so that translation shaft T-T' and longitudinal axis B-B' differ and Parallel.
Such as, ground jack 61 can be connected to anode receptor 62 by lateral connection beam 63. This lateral connection beam 63 is preferably perpendicular to bar 612 and rod 621 extends.Tie-beam 63 and rod 621 and the bar 612 of ground jack 61 be interdependently mounted.One is set bar 612 The bolt system tying lateral connection beam 63 compensate between ground jack 61 and anode receptor 62 The defect of any balance.
Guide 64 ensure that anode receptor 62 vertically moving along translation shaft T-T'.Draw Lead device can include two rings 641 separated by the distance of a non-zero along translation shaft T-T', 642, each loop section ground around rod 621 with allow its:
-one that retract or low position, at this position base 622 near rock quartz bathing pool 14 Surface, and
-one that launch or high position, at this position base 622 away from rock quartz bathing pool 14 Surface
