Description

Pre-baked anode anti-oxidation coating for reducing energy consumption of aluminum electrolysis cell and preparation and application methods thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an anti-oxidation coating for a prebaked anode for reducing energy consumption of an aluminum electrolytic cell, and a preparation method and an application method thereof, belonging to the technical field of chemical coatings.
Background
In a cryolite-alumina dissolved salt electrolysis pre-baking tank, the quality of a carbon anode directly influences the electrolysis and the product quality, and when the quality of the carbon anode does not meet the requirement, excessive carbon slag can be generated in an aluminum electrolyte solution; according to incomplete statistics, 5-15 kg of carbon slag is discharged when one ton of raw aluminum is produced. The generation of carbon residue causes adverse effects such as an increase in the voltage drop of the electrolyte, a generation of hot cells, an increase in the electric power loss in the electrolytic production of aluminum, and the like. In particular, the generation of hot cells not only causes unnecessary consumption of electric energy, but also damages the cathode of the electrolytic cell, which affects the service life of the electrolytic cell. When the content of carbon residue in the aluminum electrolyte solution reaches 1 wt%, the conductivity of the electrolyte is reduced by about 11%.
Based on the reason of the generation of the carbon residue, the generation of the carbon residue is mainly reduced in the prior art from the following ways:
firstly, a high-quality carbon anode is adopted. The carbon anode is generally made of petroleum coke, pitch coke and the like through the processes of crushing, calcining, proportioning, kneading and the like, and if the carbon anode is made of high-quality petroleum coke and the like, the exposition of carbon slag is reduced, and the current efficiency can be improved. However, in practice, as the yield of electrolytic aluminum increases year by year and the amount of high-quality petroleum coke decreases, the carbon anode has to adopt petroleum coke doped relatively more, various impurity compounds enter the carbon anode along with the petroleum coke, part of the impurity compounds are volatilized by roasting, and the rest of the impurity compounds become ash and are left in the carbon anode and released in an electrolytic bath in the electrolytic process to induce the carbon anode to slag;
and (II) selecting high-quality cathode carbon blocks. Like the carbon anode, the quality of the cathode carbon block is improved, so that the stripping of the carbon block can be reduced, and the generation of carbon slag is reduced, but because the carbon block is not the main reason for the generation of the carbon slag, the carbon slag generated in the actual aluminum electrolysis process can still not be ignored by selecting the mode;
and (III) controlling the low-temperature operation of the electrolysis process. Since the secondary reaction of aluminum is also a cause of carbon residue generation, the secondary reaction loss of aluminum can be reduced by maintaining low voltage, low alumina concentration, low molecular weight wall, low temperature and high polar distance during the electrolysis process, thereby reducing the generation of carbon residue. However, this also affects the amount of aluminium and the reduction of carbon residue is relatively low;
and fourthly, coating an anti-oxidation coating outside the carbon anode. The anti-oxidation coating is an anticorrosive coating, and can form a compact and high-strength sintered body around the anode, so that the loss of the carbon anode is reduced. The currently known anti-oxidation coating has various formulas, such as an electrolytic aluminum pre-baked anode anti-oxidation coating disclosed in patent No. CN2017100417494 and a preparation method thereof, and such as an aluminum electrolytic cell pre-baked anode anti-oxidation coating disclosed in patent No. CN 2018103644691. Due to different specific choices of the formula, the effects of the raw materials on the aspects of carbon slag generation, electric energy consumption and the like are different, and the energy-saving effect is not achieved.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention provides the prebaked anode anti-oxidation coating which has more reasonable formula and better effect and can reduce carbon slag and reduce the energy consumption of the aluminum electrolytic cell, and the preparation and application methods thereof.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is that the prebaked anode anti-oxidation coating for reducing the energy consumption of the aluminum electrolytic cell comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 45 to 50 percent of alumina, 2 to 3 percent of alkali metal crystal boundary fusing agent, 25 to 30 percent of reinforcing agent, 0.3 to 0.8 percent of coupling agent, 0.001 percent of crystal form control agent and 16.2 to 27.7 percent of water.
Preferably, the alkali metal grain boundary fusing agent comprises 50-62% of anorthite powder, 35-40% of albite and 1-15% of sodium fluosilicate.
Preferably, the reinforcing agent is silica sol with 10% solid content.
Preferably, the coupling agent is silane coupling agent DL171 for surface modification of alumina and reinforcing agent.
Preferably, the crystal form control agent comprises ytterbium oxide with the purity of more than 99% and erbium oxide with the purity of more than 99%, and the weight ratio of the ytterbium oxide to the erbium oxide is 1: 1-2.
A preparation method of prebaked anode anti-oxidation coating for reducing energy consumption of aluminum electrolysis cell comprises the following steps:
step 1: fully dispersing a silane coupling agent by using absolute ethyl alcohol, wherein the mass ratio of the using amount of the silane coupling agent to the using amount of the absolute ethyl alcohol is 1: 1-2;
step 2: uniformly spraying the silane coupling agent treated in the step 1 on the surface of the alumina;
and step 3: feeding the alumina treated in the step 2 into a wet ball mill for ball milling for 1-2.5 hours;

and 5: adding an alkali metal grain boundary fusing agent, a reinforcing agent, a coupling agent, a crystal form control agent and water according to a formula ratio, treating in the step 4 to obtain aluminum oxide, fully and uniformly mixing, sending into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, continuously reacting for 10-14h at the temperature of 190 ℃ and under the pressure of 0.5-2MPa, and cooling to obtain the anti-oxidation coating.
The anti-oxidation coating provided by the invention is applied as an anti-oxidation coating of an alumina pre-baked anode for aluminum electrolysis.
In one example, the anti-oxidation coating is sprayed on the side surface and the top surface of the prebaked anode with the surface temperature of 10-60 ℃, and then the prebaked anode is stored in an open environment at normal temperature for more than 8 hours for curing and curing; by controlling the maintenance time to exceed 8 hours, the coating is effectively prevented from bulging after entering the groove.
In one example, after the carbon anode and the anode steel claw are connected by pouring molten phosphorus pig iron to form a prebaked anode, an anti-oxidation coating is sprayed on the side surface and the top surface of the prebaked anode with the surface temperature of 10-60 ℃, after the spraying is finished, the heat brought by the molten phosphorus pig iron is gradually conducted to the outer surface of the prebaked anode, so that the temperature of the outer surface of the prebaked anode is raised by 30-50 ℃, and then the prebaked anode is stored for more than 8 hours to finish curing and aging; the heat that the phosphorus molten pig iron of pouring was conducted when utilizing the connection positive pole steel claw shortens the maintenance time on the one hand, and on the other hand is favorable to the maintenance of inlayer coating and inlayer coating moisture in time to be discharged, can guarantee the drainage of coating positive pole free moisture before the groove of entering, and the coating bulge that the prevention brought because of free moisture does not drain in the coating, the phenomenon of droing takes place.
Preferably, when spraying, the part of the four sides of the carbon anode within 18cm of the lower edge is kept from spraying.

Application method
The invention relates to an application of an anti-oxidation coating for a prebaked anode for reducing energy consumption of an aluminum electrolytic cell, which is characterized in that after the anti-oxidation coating is prepared, the anti-oxidation coating is sprayed on the side surface and the top surface of the prebaked anode with the surface temperature of 10-20 ℃, and the spraying is repeated for 3 times, and then the prebaked anode is stored for 24 hours in an open environment at room temperature to finish curing and curing. After the prebaked anode carbon block is taken out of the furnace, the temperature is over thousand ℃, water needs to be sprayed immediately for cooling, the surface temperature can be reduced to about 100 ℃ after the water is dried, and the prebaked anode carbon block can be generally placed in a warehouse for storage and cooling to room temperature. When the prebaked anode carbon block and the steel claw are connected by pouring molten phosphorus pig iron, the surface of the carbon block just after pouring the molten phosphorus pig iron is basically at normal temperature, so that the surface of the carbon block is still at normal temperature or slightly higher than normal temperature during spraying, and the spraying is controlled to be completed within five minutes after the molten phosphorus pig iron is poured; after the spraying is finished, the temperature of the molten iron is transferred to the surface of the carbon block about 2 hours, so that the temperature of the outer surface of the carbon block is raised by 40-50 ℃. The anti-oxidation coating is directly sprayed on the surface of the carbon block which is just poured with the phosphorus molten pig iron, and the temperature of the phosphorus molten pig iron is conducted to the surface of the carbon block, so that the temperature of the sprayed carbon block surface gradually rises by 40-50 ℃, the maintenance time can be effectively shortened, the maintenance of the inner layer coating and the timely discharge of the moisture of the inner layer coating are facilitated, the free moisture of the coating anode before the coating enters the tank is ensured to be drained, the phenomena of coating swelling and dropping caused by the fact that the free moisture is not drained are effectively prevented, the maintenance time is controlled to exceed 8 hours, and the phenomenon of coating swelling after the coating enters the tank is further prevented; and the mode can effectively save energy.
When the anti-oxidation coating is sprayed, the part of the four side surfaces of the carbon anode, which are 18cm away from the lower edge, is kept from being sprayed. The reason is that: the coating can be dissolved into the electrolyte when meeting the electrolyte, the depth of the electrolyte is about 18cm, the polar distance is about 4.5 cm, so the depth of the electrolyte inserted when the anode enters the electrolytic bath is 13.5 cm, and the electrolyte has 4-5 cm fluctuation, so 18cm below the four sides of the carbon anode can be dissolved after the bath even if being sprayed, and therefore 18cm below the carbon anode can not be sprayed.
Testing and Industrial applications
First, laboratory test
(1) Staged oxidation test
Uncoated areas (black annular areas without the coating) and coated areas (white for coating the anti-oxidation coating of the embodiment 1 of the invention) are left at intervals on the outer periphery of the test carbon material, and the test carbon material is calcined for 7 hours at a high temperature of 900 ℃. The specific result is shown in fig. 2, the carbon material in the coating area has no obvious change, and the carbon material in the uncoated area is oxidized, so that the anti-oxidation coating has excellent oxidation resistance, is firmly combined with the carbon material, and the high-temperature quick water-cooling coating does not crack or fall off.
(2) Calculation of weight loss ratio
Taking 12 groups of the same carbon blocks as test samples, coating 9 groups of the carbon blocks with the anti-oxidation coating prepared in the embodiments 1-3 of the invention as test groups, and taking the other three groups of carbon blocks without any coating as a control group; placing the experimental group and the carbon blocks of the control group into an environment of 900 ℃ to calcine for 72 hours, and respectively calculating the weight loss rate of the carbon blocks:
weight loss ratio
Figure BDA0003538385440000121
Wherein M is 1 For pre-calcination mass, M 2 Is the calcined weight; the weight loss rate of the carbon block is as follows:
Figure BDA0003538385440000122
and (3) taking the minimum Delta M% as judgment data, taking the Delta M% as the minimum weight loss rate in the experimental group or the control group, and judging the detection result: first-grade product: 1.0 percent or more and delta M percent or less than 1.5 percent of special grade product: delta M% < 1.0%. It can be seen that: two samples in example 1, three samples in example 2 and one sample in example 3 all reach the standard of the special best product, while the control group fails to reach the standard of the first grade judgment.
Second, industrial application
After the anti-oxidation coating prepared by the invention is used according to an application method, as shown in figure 3, (a) the upper end of the high anode scrap after the tank is stopped is not immersed in the electrolyte, the coating is intact, the surface of the carbon block has no oxidation consumption and large sectional area, the electrolyte is shrunk and solidified after the tank is stopped, the lower end of the carbon block is seriously exposed and oxidized, the sectional area is small, but the difference between the upper and lower sectional areas is small; (b) the middle is a non-coating electrode, and the surface is not protected by a coating material, so that the surface is uneven and seriously oxidized.
As shown in FIG. 4, the anode scrap is thickened by 13-18mm and the period of pole change is successfully prolonged by more than 1 day by the verification of the coating anode of the invention popularized and used by a plurality of electrolytic aluminum factories.
Thirdly, coating test of the anti-oxidation coating in the anode middle seam
The partial electrolytic cell is forced to stop due to the anodic oxidation and the depolarization of the middle seam, and the safe operation and the current efficiency of the electrolytic cell are seriously influenced. Therefore, the anode center line was tested for oxidation preventing effect.
