Description

Aluminum oxide blanking and concentration control method for aluminum electrolysis cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for controlling alumina blanking and concentration, in particular to a method for controlling alumina blanking and concentration of an aluminum electrolysis cell in the field of aluminum electrolysis.
Technical Field
In the production process of aluminum electrolysis, the blanking and concentration control of alumina are carried out in an excess and deficiency alternating mode, the alumina concentration of the whole cell is controlled between an upper limit and a lower limit to carry out periodic change, as shown in figure 1, the theoretical basis is the characteristic curve relation of the alumina concentration and the cell resistance, and the control method is generally applied to aluminum electrolysis enterprises. In recent years, with the increasing capacity and size of the electrolytic cell, indexes such as current efficiency and direct current consumption are difficult to meet ideal requirements, and the main problems are mainly reflected in two aspects of alumina concentration and polar distance control.
1. Alumina concentration control
The modern large-scale prebaked aluminum electrolysis cell is difficult to accurately determine a reference blanking rate (equal to the consumption rate of alumina in a certain time) matched with the current efficiency, and only through the alternative control of excess and deficiency (blanking modes higher than and lower than the reference blanking rate), the alumina concentration of the whole cell is controlled within a certain range (generally 1.5-3.5%). This traditional control mode can have various adverse effects on the electrolytic production: the high concentration area can not dissolve alumina in time due to over high local concentration, so that precipitation even furnace bottom hard crusting is formed, horizontal current in aluminum liquid is increased, and the stability of the electrolytic cell is influenced; the low concentration area can increase the possibility of a flicker effect and even a full-cell effect due to the over-low concentration of the local alumina, increase the energy consumption and reduce the current efficiency; the periodic variation of the excess and deficiency in the electrolytic cell frequently causes the impact on the superheat degree of the electrolyte, the local heat balance and the interface stability, and the current efficiency is lost.
2. Polar distance control
In the normal production of the electrolytic cell, the consumption rate of the anode height and the growth rate of the aluminum liquid thickness growth are not balanced, and the consumption of the anode is

Wherein h iscThe anode consumption rate (cm/d), danodeAs the anodic current density (A/cm)2) CE is the current efficiency (%), wcFor the anode consumption (kg/t-Al), dcIs the anode bulk density (g/cm)2) The growth height of the aluminum liquid is
Figure BDA0002220779360000021
Wherein h is the growth height (cm) of the aluminum liquid, m is the mass (g) of the aluminum liquid, and rho is the density (g/cm) of the aluminum liquid3) And S1 is the upper surface area (cm) of the volume of the aluminum liquid2) S2 is the lower surface area (cm) of the volume of the aluminum liquid2). Generally, the consumption rate of the anodes in various groove types is smaller than the growth rate of the aluminum liquid, so that the polar distance height (the distance from the bottom surface of the anode to the upper surface of the aluminum liquid) is continuously reduced if the concentration of aluminum oxide is unchanged and no anode acts in the production process. In contrast, the conventional control mode is realized by monitoring the cell voltage, that is, when the cell voltage is lower than a certain voltage value, the anode is lifted, and the pole distance is pulled. In fact, the variation of the cell voltage is mainly composed of two parts: the change of the electrode distance resistance voltage drop caused by the change of the electrode distance height and the change of the concentration voltage drop caused by the change of the alumina concentration (including the change of the resistivity caused by the change of the concentration and the change of the reaction overvoltage) jointly determine the change of the whole electrode distance of the electrolytic cell. This makes it difficult to achieve the precise control of alumina concentration and polar distance simultaneously only by cell voltage in production control.
In order to solve the above problems, patent ZL 201110166650.X proposes a control mode mainly based on a normal blanking period, so as to keep the alumina concentration within a substantially constant range, so as to reduce the influence of alumina concentration variation. Patent ZL 201110372135.7 further expands the method by adjusting the amount of each point of blanking in combination with the distribution of anodic current, to achieve a spatially uniform distribution of alumina concentration. The control basis of the two patents is still to realize the control of the alumina concentration according to the cell voltage, and no clear solution is provided for the problem of the polar distance control. In the control mode referred to in the patent, as the electrode distance is gradually reduced as the electrolysis proceeds, the alumina 'concentration drop' of the electrolyte continues to be high under only the cell voltage control, causing the alumina concentration to drift toward the effect region, increasing the possibility of the anode effect occurring.
The conventional control mode and the control mode proposed in the patent at present are difficult to realize the constant control of the alumina concentration and the polar distance of the ultra-large aluminum electrolysis cell.

The under-passing blanking period and the reference blanking period are a cycle period, and the cycle period is 12 hours.
The initial blanking rate is determined by current efficiency calculation on the previous day.
The real-time adjustment of the reference blanking rate is that when the cell concentration is not changed, the reference blanking rate is adjusted in real time according to the cell voltage change rate dV/dt: adjusting NB to NB- Δ NB when (dV/dt-C) x Δ t > σ; and when (dV/dt-C) multiplied by delta t < -sigma, adjusting NB to be NB + delta NB, wherein C is the theoretical slope of the voltage change caused by the change of the polar distance, delta t is the calculated time step, sigma is the allowed voltage error, NB reference blanking time interval, and delta NB fine adjustment amount in each time interval.

The under-over blanking period comprises an under period and an over period, the under-over blanking period is a half period,
the concentration of alumina in the cell is controlled to a target concentration by controlling the voltage so that the upper limit of the concentration of alumina is 2.2% and the lower limit of the concentration of alumina is 1.5%. The under-passing blanking period and the reference blanking period are a cycle period, and the cycle period is 3 hours.
The initial blanking rate is determined by current efficiency calculation on the previous day.
The real-time adjustment of the reference blanking rate is that when the cell concentration is not changed, the reference blanking rate is adjusted in real time according to the cell voltage change rate dV/dt: adjusting NB to NB- Δ NB when (dV/dt-C) x Δ t > σ; and when (dV/dt-C) multiplied by delta t < -sigma, adjusting NB to be NB + delta NB, wherein C is the theoretical slope of the voltage change caused by the change of the polar distance, delta t is the calculated time step, sigma is the allowed voltage error, NB reference blanking time interval, and delta NB fine adjustment amount in each time interval.
Taking a 500kA electrolytic cell as an example, the real-time adjustment of the reference blanking rate is detailed:
if the slope C of the voltage change caused by the change of the polar distance is-0.0025 millivolts/second, the calculated time step delta t is taken to be 20 seconds, the allowed voltage error sigma is 10 millivolts, the reference blanking time interval NB is 73 seconds, and the fine adjustment quantity delta NB of each time interval is 0.2 seconds.
If the change rate dV/dt of the tank voltage is 1.2 millivolts/second, (dV/dt-C) multiplied by delta t is more than 10 millivolts, and the reference blanking time interval is adjusted from 73 seconds to 72.8 seconds; if the change rate dV/dt of the tank voltage is-0.1 millivolt/second, the (dV/dt-C) multiplied by delta t is less than 10 millivolts and more than-10 millivolts, and the reference blanking time interval is not adjusted for 73 seconds; if the cell voltage change rate dV/dt is-1.3 mV/s, then (dV/dt-C). times.DELTA.t is less than-10 mV, and then the reference blanking time interval is adjusted from 73 seconds to 73.2 seconds.
The pole pitch compensation is explained in detail by taking a 500kA electrolytic cell as an example:
consumption of the anode h as one dayc1.8cm, the growth height h of the aluminum liquid is 2.4cm, and the difference value between the two is 6 mm. The electrolytic production was divided into 8 cycles at 24 hours per day, with a pole pitch of 0.75mm offset in the baseline blanking period for 3 hours per cycle.
Otherwise, the same procedure as in example 1 was repeated.
