Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cathode assembly for an aluminum electrolysis cell, a cathode block for such a cathode assembly, and a method of manufacturing such a cathode assembly.
  • Such electrolysis cells are used for the electrolytic production of aluminum, which is usually carried out industrially by the Hall-Heroult process.
  • a melt composed of alumina and cryolite is electrolyzed.
  • the cryolite, Na 3 [AIF 6 ] serves to lower the melting point from 2,045 ° C. for pure aluminum oxide to approximately 950 ° C. for a mixture containing cryolite, aluminum oxide and additives such as aluminum fluoride and calcium fluoride.
  • the electrolysis cell used in this method has a bottom composed of a plurality of adjacent cathode blocks forming the cathode.
  • the cathode blocks are usually composed of a carbonaceous material.
  • grooves are provided on the lower sides of the cathode blocks, in each of which at least one bus bar is arranged, through which the current supplied via the anodes is removed.
  • the gaps between the individual walls delimiting the grooves of the cathode blocks and the busbars are often poured with cast iron in order to electrically and mechanically connect the busbars to the cathode blocks through the cast iron busbars produced thereby.
  • the aluminum formed is deposited below the electrolyte layer due to its greater density compared to that of the electrolyte, ie as an intermediate layer between the upper side of the cathode blocks and the electrolyte layer.
  • the aluminum oxide dissolved in the cryolite melt is split by the flow of electrical current into aluminum and oxygen.
  • the layer of molten aluminum is the actual cathode because aluminum ions are reduced to elemental aluminum on its surface. Nevertheless, the term cathode will not be understood below to mean the cathode from an electrochemical point of view, ie the layer of molten aluminum, but rather the component forming the electrolytic cell bottom and composed of one or more cathode blocks.
  • a major disadvantage of the cathode assemblies used in the Hall-Heroult method is their relatively low wear resistance, which manifests itself by a removal of the cathode block surfaces during the electrolysis.
  • the removal of the cathode block surfaces due to an inhomogeneous current distribution within the cathode blocks is not uniform over the length of the cathode blocks, but to an increased extent at the cathode block ends, so that the surfaces of the cathode blocks change after a certain electrolysis time to a W-shaped profile. Due to the uneven removal of the cathode block surfaces, the service life of the cathode blocks is limited by the places with the largest removal.
  • WO 2007/1 18510 A2 proposes a cathode block whose groove, which is intended to receive a conductor rail, has a greater depth in the middle, relative to the cathode block length, than at the cathode block ends.
  • Another disadvantage of the cathode arrangement used in the Hall-Heroult process is its comparatively high electrical resistance.
  • One of several reasons for the comparatively high electrical resistance is that the contact resistance between the bus bars and the cathode blocks of the cathode is comparatively high, and this contact resistance also increases with increasing service life of the cathode.
  • the graphite foil reduces the electrical contact resistance between the busbar or the surrounding layer of solidified cast iron and the cathode block due to their good two-sided positive locking
  • the graphite foil due to their elasticity in particular reduces the increase of this contact resistance with increasing operating time of the cathode, because the graphite foil filling gaps formed between the walls of the cathode block and the bus bar during the creeping of the steel of the bus bar and the carbon of the cathode block.
  • graphite foils have a smooth and very lubricious surface.
  • graphite foil is not or only to a very limited extent connectable with cast iron, so that a pouring of the gap between busbar and graphite foil with liquid cast iron and a subsequent hardening or solidification of the cast iron not to a compound of graphite foil with the cast iron, but only a cladding of the busbar with cast iron leads.
  • a cathode arrangement for an aluminum electrolysis cell having at least one cathode block based on carbon and / or graphite, which has at least one groove lined at least in regions with a graphite foil, wherein at least one bus bar is provided in the at least one groove, which at least partially has a casing made of cast iron, wherein in the at least one groove bounding wall of the cathode block at least one recess is provided and engages the casing of cast iron at least partially into the at least one recess.
  • This solution is based on the recognition that a precisely fitting and in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cathode block displacement positive connection of a busbar with a graphite foil lined groove having cathode block is achieved if provided in at least one groove defining wall of the cathode block at least one recess is introduced and at least partially covered with cast iron busbar so in the groove that the casing of cast iron engages at least partially into the recess.
  • the cathode assembly according to the invention has the advantage of improved current transfer between the bus bar and the cathode block and thus improved energy efficiency due to the electrical and mechanical properties of graphite foil with the lining of the groove with graphite foil, while avoiding the associated with the high lubricity of graphite Disadvantage of an uncontrolled mobility of the busbar in the groove in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cathode block and a concomitant possible impairment of the electrical connection between the busbar and the cathode block during prolonged operation of the electrolysis cell.
  • the present invention makes it possible to use the lubricious properties of the graphite foil specifically to selectively ensure a longitudinal displacement of the busbar in the groove, especially in movements caused by temperature changes during startup.
  • the cathode arrangement according to the invention with the advantages described above can be produced with extremely little effort and without expensive additional process steps.
  • the proposed mechanical connection between the busbar and the cathode block can be achieved simply by filling a depression of the cathode block at least partially with the cast iron in the course of the already required potting of the busbar with the cast iron.
  • a very intimate contact between the busbar, the casing of cast iron, the graphite foil and the cathode block is achieved, which contributes to a particularly low electrical contact resistance between the busbar and the cathode block.
  • the graphite foil absorbs the mechanical pressure occurring during the operation of the cathode arrangement perpendicular to the film plane.
  • a recess is defined as a recess, in contrast to a mere surface roughness, which has a depth of at least 0.05 mm, and preferably 0.5 mm, relative to the surface of the wall delimiting the groove.
