Description

Rare earth modified metal ceramic inert anode composite material for aluminum electrolysis and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of metal ceramic composite materials, in particular to a novel high-performance metal ceramic inert anode composite material for aluminum electrolysis and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Aluminum is the second largest metal material, china is the largest aluminum product producing country and consuming country in the world, electrolytic aluminum is the important focus field of national double carbon targets, at present, the Hall-Heroult method is adopted in industry to electrolyze aluminum oxide to generate raw aluminum, and the method adopts consumed carbon as an anode to reduce aluminum oxide into raw aluminum in high-temperature molten salt. The method has the problems of high carbon consumption, high production investment cost, complex process and the like, and if the carbon anode is replaced by an inert anode, the anode does not react with oxygen anions, so that a large amount of CO is reduced 2 The discharge of the gas can also generate O 2 Recycling, the cost can be greatly saved, the electrode consumption can be reduced, the yield of the electrolytic tank can be increased, and technical support can be provided for zero-carbon electrolytic aluminum.
Currently inert anodes are mainly divided into three main categories: alloy systems, oxide ceramic systems, and cermet systems. Although the alloy system has high conductivity, the corrosion resistance is poor, and long-time electrolysis in a high-temperature molten salt system cannot be realized; although the oxide ceramic system has stronger corrosion resistance, the conductivity of the oxide ceramic system can not meet the industrial production requirement; the metal ceramic system is a composite material of metal and ceramic, has the two properties of high conductivity of metal and strong corrosion resistance of ceramic, and the ceramic phase matrix material commonly used at present is ZnFe 2 O 4 And NiFe 2 O 4 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The metal phase of the cermet is more Cu-Ni and Fe-Ni based alloy, but the metal phase can be preferentially corroded in the use process, so that the corrosion rate of an anode is accelerated, the conductivity, the compactness, the corrosion resistance, the thermal shock resistance and the like of the cermet are difficult to improve, in the currently reported literature, the conductivity of a cermet inert anode material of patent application CN 106488998A only reaches 100S/cm at most, and the conductivity requirement of industrial electrolytic aluminum is far from (200S/cm), so that the research and development of the inert anode material which can meet the strong corrosion resistance and simultaneously ensure the high conductivity of the material is a key technology to overcome in the field, and if the technical bottleneck can be broken through, the technical route of the inert anode modified Hall-H method electrolytic molten aluminum oxide can be realized industrially.
It can be seen that on the cermet substrate, how to control the alloying element composition is of great importance. The high-entropy alloy is a novel alloy material system developed in recent years, is a solid solution alloy containing at least 5 elements, has high entropy effect, slow diffusion effect, serious lattice distortion effect and cocktail effect, and has high strength, yield stress and other excellent mechanical properties through gradual improvement of addition design and preparation process of the high-entropy alloy elements by researchers: the internal elements of the alloy are not easy to diffuse to the surface, so that the corrosion of the alloy is delayed, and the corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the metal ceramic are improved; the high-entropy alloy has strong solid solution oxidation caused by serious lattice distortion phenomenon, and has good performances in wear resistance, hardness, bending strength, yield strength and compression fracture strength. The high-entropy alloy has difficult cooperative diffusion of atoms among different elements in cryolite molten salt corrosion, and nucleation and growth of a new phase are inhibited. Therefore, the high-entropy alloy has more excellent heat stability and high-temperature softening resistance than the traditional alloy, and can replace the common alloy with poor alloy phase stability, poor high-temperature oxidation resistance and poor cryolite molten salt corrosion resistance. The metal ceramic inert anode composite material synthesized by adopting the high-entropy alloy to replace the common alloy has great advantages in aluminum electrolysis.
CN 115679384The A discloses a preparation method of a micro-consumption anode material for co-production of aluminum oxide, wherein the anode material is a composite material formed by a metal phase and a ceramic phase, wherein the metal phase is AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy, the content is 25-95%, and the content of the ceramic phase is 5-75%; the ceramic phase is AB 2 O 4 Wherein A is one or more of Ni, co, sn, zn and B is one or more of Fe, al, cr, sn; the invention creatively combines high-entropy alloy with ceramic phase to be used as micro-consumption anode material for co-production of alumina; thereby avoiding the anode material failure caused by preferential corrosion of individual elements in the metal phase in the long-term electrolysis process; meanwhile, the problem of high impurity content of electrolytic aluminum is solved.
Rare earth metals, known as industrial vitamins, are widely used as dopants to improve the properties of materials, which provide excellent sustainability, selectivity, reactivity and durability for target reactions during electrocatalytic reactions, and by doping rare earth metal elements in cermet materials, the point catalysis performance, corrosion resistance of inert anode materials can be improved, while improving the energy conversion and storage properties of electrolytic molten alumina processes. Therefore, the invention dopes the high entropy alloy containing four or more rare earth metal elements in Co, cr, fe, ni, ti, mn, cu, al, mo and one or more rare earth metal elements in Y, la, sc, ce, pr, nd into spinel-based metal oxide ceramic, which not only maintains the same level of corrosion resistance as oxide ceramic, but also greatly improves the conductivity of the metal ceramic material, breaks through the development bottleneck that the high corrosion resistance and the high conductivity are difficult to meet at the same time at present, and can meet the use of industrial electrolytic aluminum inert anodes.
The prior metal ceramic has the corrosion resistance problems that the metal phase is preferentially corroded in the electrolytic corrosion process, so that the metal ceramic material is immersed into electrolyte to be corroded rapidly, the metal phase overflows and the structure is unevenly distributed, and the metal phase content is correspondingly regulated to achieve the balance between the conductivity and the corrosion resistance of the material, so that the main challenges are faced by researchers. Under the current preparation and electrolysis process conditions, the contradiction between the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the metal ceramic inert anode can not be reconciled, and the conductivity of the metal ceramic inert anode is difficult to break through on the premise of keeping a low corrosion rate. Thus, there is a great need for new concepts and methods for improving the conductivity of cermet inert anodes. The application applies the rare earth modified high-entropy alloy to the ceramic matrix, and the conductivity of the synthesized composite material reaches 484S/cm in a crossing way.
