Background technology
Mostly by be dissolved in ice crystal bath in alumina electrolytic production of aluminum.
At present, aluminium is produced in a kind of electrolytic cell at industrial scale, which particularly includes:
- one parallelepiped pot shell, including substrate and side wall, which opens wide at an upper portion thereof,
- one covers the substrate of the pot shell and the refractory liner of side wall,
- one cathode based on carbon anode/cathode block, the carbon anode/cathode block are disposed in the pot shell and are connected to use In the electric conductor of transmission Faradaic current.
Electrolytic cell further includes an ice crystal bath, and ice crystal bath is included in the pot shell and specifically by ice crystal and dissolving Alumina composition.
The carbon block for forming the prebake conditions of the anode of anode assemblies is immersed in ice crystal bath, and with the electricity of production aluminium Solution reaction is consumed.
One horizontal superstructure is installed on the pot shell of the electrolytic cell.This superstructure is for example placed on this Just extending over the ground on pot shell and with it on the opening of the pot shell.The superstructure is used to be supported in the opening of the pot shell The different components of face and the electrolytic cell that it is just being arranged over the ground, such as:
- lifting device is designed to as anode is consumed the anode be made to be reduced in the electrolytic cell,
- reactant feedway is designed to allow the reactant being consumed during cell reaction and inserts the ice crystal In stone bath,
- one polluted gas collecting device is designed to prevent the polluted gas generated during cell reaction-such as, Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and gaseous hydrogen fluoride-be released in air.
Finally, electrolytic cell usually tool is there are one lid arrangement, and the lid arrangement is by being placed on top edge and the top of the pot shell A series of covers between structure are formed.The lid arrangement is designed to cover the open-top portion between the pot shell and the superstructure Point, gas pollutant is enclosed in the electrolytic cell.
In the bottom of the electrolytic cell, one layer of liquid aluminium being removed by absorption or suction period is formd.
One shortcoming of the electrolytic cell of this type is the risk that gas pollutant escapes into outside.These wind of gas effusion The reason for danger can be different.
Specifically, the various products used in cell reaction-such as, covering product-can be deposited in described in support On the edge of the pot shell of cover.This accumulation of product may interfere with cover described in correct placement.This causes the top edge in the pot shell And there is polluted gas leakage between the cover of every one side of the electrolytic cell is arranged in.
In addition, the anode rod of anode assemblies passes through the lid arrangement.These anode rods pass through this with gas in order to prevent The dynamic sealing means association that engaging zones effusion between lid arrangement and the anode rod provides.However, the dynamic is close Seal apparatus is likely to be broken, especially during the anode for operating the anode rod to be exhausted with new anode replacement.To described The damage of dynamic sealing means causes the engaging zones between the lid arrangement and the anode rod polluted gas leakage occur.
Another shortcoming of the electrolytic cell of this type is related to the anode unit when the anode exhausted with new anode replacement The moving movement of part.The appearance of superstructure on the pot shell opening hampers the vertically movable of the anode assemblies.Cause This needs using the complicated moving movement of the anode assemblies around this superstructure to allow to take out it from the electrolytic cell .
