(3) the refined aluminium electrolyzer is raw materials used is aluminum oxide, and its purity is not less than 98.8%, and used anode is not for adding the carbon anode of anode scrap, and its ash is not more than 0.35%;
(4) the used electrolyte melt of electrolyte melt of refined aluminium electrolyzer for purifying, this melt is that female groove provides by other electrolyzer;
When (5) the refined aluminium electrolyzer is changed anode, the anode scrap that more swaps out is that aluminum oxide crust and the anode aluminum oxide crust all around above the old anode can not be used for the refined aluminium electrolyzer, and new anode after the replacing and aluminium oxide shell face purity all around are that the aluminum oxide more than 98.8% covers;
(6) the electrolysis temperature 940-960 of refined aluminium electrolyzer ℃, the horizontal 18-22cm of fused salt, aluminum liquid horizontal 18-22cm, electrolyte molecule are than 2.2-2.8, groove operating voltage 4.1-4.4V;
(7) refined aluminium produced of refined aluminium electrolyzer goes out the aluminium bag with special use and draws, and pours the special-purpose molten stove of practicing then into, with nitrogen or chlorine blowing 15 minutes, carries out the refined aluminium ingot casting.
Adopting sodium aluminum fluoride of the present invention---alumina molten salt electrolysis method direct production goes out a kind of method that aluminium content is 99.93% above refined aluminium, this method equipment used is an aluminium cell, raw material is an aluminium sesquioxide, fused salt is sodium aluminum fluoride and aluminum oxide, this method is negative and positive the two poles of the earth that direct current passes through electrolyzer, on anode, separate out the anodic gas that contains impurity, and enter the flue gas purification system eliminating; On negative electrode, produce required refined aluminium.At present this method is not at home, abroad appear in the newspapers.This method is used on my industrial cell, and the purity of aluminium has reached more than 99.95%, and present method is to do raw material with aluminum oxide, produces refined aluminium through once electrolytic, and energy consumption and cost are well below other method.
