Description

Fusion electrolysis equipment and its adjusting method of operation
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for being used to run the electrolytic cell of fusion electrolysis equipment, the fusion electrolysis equipment is especially used In manufacture aluminium.Moreover, it relates to a kind of fusion electrolysis equipment, the fusion electrolysis equipment particularly for manufacturing aluminium, this is molten Melt electrolysis installation and carry fusion electrolysis pond.
Prior art
All plans and part is implemented energy supply to so-called renewable in many industrial countries in the world The energy promotes, to significantly reduce the gas that weather may be caused to damage, such as CO2Formation, and incrementally increase and break away from pair The dependence of mineral energy carrier.
Regenerative resource can not be stored due to the storage medium that can not be used so far in proper range and then Needed according to electric current called.In addition, only in corresponding energy source, the unstable energy especially from wind and the sun realize to Electric transformation of energy and when realizing its input to power network, could input regenerative resource in power network.If dispensed with as slow The mineral energy carrier of device is rushed, the current collector in power network must just make its electrical energy demands as far as possible with passing through renewable energy The energy supply of source carrier matches.
With the trend it is especially relevant be the industrial branches with very high energies demand because decline can not be light for its electric current Loose ground adapts to common current needs, and therefore can hardly be compensated by other current collectors.For this more particularly to Aluminium manufactures, but the industrial branches in other industrial branches, especially chemical industry are also significantly affected by the development.
What instable energy source expanded utilizes the price not only resulted in for providing electric energy totally to improve, and also results in not It can ensure to provide sufficiently large electric flux in power network all the time.Therefore problem is, particularly from the work in energy-intensive field Industry equipment is be likely to the area discontinuously to power can not economically operation again.
Fusion electrolysis equipment is then controlled by inputting the current strength of electrolytic cell so far, wherein, it is related to relevant melting electricity The fixed imagination of Xie Chi thermodynamic equilibrium.This in the case where keeping constant boundary condition, especially current drain, cell resistance, It can be reliably achieved in the case that the thermodynamics in fusion electrolysis pond is set or waste gas discharge keeps constant.
Known fusion electrolysis method is control method in regulation technology field, and the control method is able to ensure that constant , fabulous predeterminable boundary condition.With relatively large interval, for example determine once a day inside fusion electrolysis pond Melt temperature.In addition equally with relatively large interval, for example it is determined that determining setting temperature when after the temperature of melt. Another method is based on the determination to AlF3 contents in melt.Fusion electrolysis is passed through by necessary adjustment sometimes based on the numerical value Voltage that pond declines and the thickness of stiff epidermis is maintained in practical scope.Such as contemplate for fusion electrolysis pond, when molten When the temperature of body is higher than 8 DEG C of its setting temperature, stiff epidermis has suitable thickness.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows to carry out the diagram of preferable process control by the real-time thermal balance regulation of closure.Thermal balance is set For as reference variable w (t).Thermally equilibrated adjusting deviation e (t), namely thermal balance and the deviation of rated value pass through adjuster root According to thermal balance feedback quantity ym(t) compensate.Adjuster is by reference to variable w (t) and feedback quantity ym(t) comparison between, which calculates, has surveyed Obtain thermal balance amount y (t) and reference variable w (t) deviation and determine corresponding counter-measure, to make controlled variable according to ginseng Variable is examined to be adjusted.
Regard thermal losses or heat input as general control amount u (t).In order to adjust general control amount u (t), adjuster Such as heat exchanger can be influenceed, to the electrolytic cell chemistry and voltage inside waste gas stream valve, fusion electrolysis pond.Device can be conditioned The specific controlling value u influenceedS(t) it may, for example, be AlF in the valve position being present in waste gas guidance part, electrolytic cell3Agent The flowing velocity of heat-transfer fluid or cross bar position in amount, heat exchanger, namely phase of one or more anodes in fusion electrolysis pond To position, an anode/multiple anodes on cross bar can be adjusted by the relative position and be used as the moon in aluminium electrolysis cell Spacing between the aluminium liquid of pole or common negative electrode.Therefore controlled plant refers to fusion electrolysis pond together with its building block, such as Heat exchanger if necessary, waste gas guidance part, cross bar, fan, valve etc..
Thus it is also conceivable to being regarded as interference value d (t) external action, the current strength for being particularly based on power network fluctuation becomes The production efficiency changed, changed during the operability effect on fusion electrolysis pond or manufacture aluminium.Because these interference value shadows Ring the thermal balance in fusion electrolysis pond, it is possible to remove interference value by way of according to the present invention.
Thermal balance can for example by for measure the thermocouple of the temperature on side wall, bottom and waste gas guidance part with and By for determining that the element of waste gas and the volume flow for the heat-transfer fluid that may flow through heat exchanger is determined together with analytic unit.It is logical The data input adjuster that measuring cell is measured and analyzed is crossed, adaptedly to adjust corresponding control element.
Generally it can determine, the heat in fusion electrolysis pond is mainly formed in the region of anode-cathode spacing.Electric current Intensity rise time away from reduction and current strength reduce when gap increase be used for adjust thermally equilibrated first measure.Thus The Ohmic resistance in fusion electrolysis pond changes, this within certain limit, especially by between the minimum between anode and aluminium liquid Away from and the method for energy efficient determined by be feasible in boundary.In addition it is also feasible that when the energy provided by power network When otherwise can not maintain fusion electrolysis process again, by optional heat exchanger, such as the heat exchange in the side wall in fusion electrolysis pond Heat is exported and inputs fusion electrolysis pond by device from fusion electrolysis pond.Waste gas stream can additionally be changed, and pass through the party Formula equally influences the thermal balance in fusion electrolysis pond.The raising of waste gas stream increase heat output, and the reduction of waste gas stream play every From effect.
By this way it is achieved that fusion electrolysis equipment, especially aluminium electrolytic equipment are not requiring to be provided by power network It can be run cost-effectively in the case of constant current strength.
Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram of fusion electrolysis equipment, and it carries fusion electrolysis pond 30.The side of fusion electrolysis pond 30 leads to The limited boundary of pool wall 32 is crossed, and additionally there is bottom of pond 34, the bottom of pond 34 is simultaneously as the moon for fusion electrolysis method Pole plays a role inside electrolytic cell 30.Have inside electrolytic cell 30 from the anode 36 and melt for above protruding into electrolytic cell 30 38th, 35.1, the melt has the aluminium of hexafluoro sodium aluminate and melting in addition.In the embodiment shown in figure 2, closely molten Melt and heat exchanger 39 is disposed with the pool wall 32 of electrolytic cell 30, fluid, such as air, CO are guided by the heat exchanger 392, nitrogen Or liquid.Heat exchanger 39 is particularly preferably connected by pipe-line system 31 with storage heater 33 herein, and the storage heater 33 is for example logical Cross convection type storage heater or latent heat accumulator is formed.
In the case of the energy expenditure height in fusion electrolysis pond 30, big calorimetric is discharged by electrolyte inside electrolytic cell Can, the heat energy discharges upwards from electrolytic cell by its side wall 32 and bottom of pond 34 and by waste gas.It is expected that the heat of release exists This is defined as so that the stiff epidermis (hardboard) 35.2 for the melt 35.1 for forming solidification on the inner side of pool wall 32 is used as protective layer. Stiff epidermis 35.2 changes only in terms of its thickness according to the thermal balance of melting connection pool.
It is too low based on fusion electrolysis pond electric power consumption if necessary and by heat from outer input, it is or in other words necessary The heat from electrolytic cell output is reduced so as not to which stiff epidermis 35.2 can be allowed to become too much, can be by pipe-line system 31 by heat Heat exchanger 39 is directed to from storage heater 33.It is possible thereby to effectively heat the inside in fusion electrolysis pond by pool wall 32, mode be to External radiation goes out less heat, because the temperature difference between the inside of electrolytic cell and the outside of pool wall 32 reduces, and thus hinders The solidification of melt is stopped.Waste gas being siphoned away upwards by changing or being blocked can also realize identical effect.
Adjusting means 37 is configured to run the electrolytic cell of fusion electrolysis equipment, flat so as to adjust its heat as described above Weighing apparatus.Therefore, fusion electrolysis pond is in its side wall, bottom and even abuts against waste gas guidance part on fusion electrolysis pond at an upper portion thereof Region includes multiple (unshowned) thermocouples.The measurement result input regulating device 37 obtained by thermocouple, and adjusting Operation in regulating device for regulation fusion electrolysis pond is analyzed.
By running this fusion electrolysis equipment, can except manufacture such as aluminium while also by power network even in supply not Still keep stable in the case of stabilized power source, without employing special (currently can not in enough scopes available) memory And similar device.
