Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cathode block for an aluminum electrolysis cell, its use and a cathode assembly comprising the same.
  • Electrolysis cells are used, for example, 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 [AlF 6 ] serves to lower the melting point from 2045 ° 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 electrolytic cell used in this method has a cathode bottom, which is composed of a plurality of, for example, up to 28 adjacent cathode blocks forming the cathode.
  • the spaces between the cathode blocks are usually filled with a carbon-containing ramming mass to seal the cathode against molten components of the electrolytic cell, and to compensate for mechanical stresses that occur during commissioning of the electrolysis cell.
  • the cathode blocks are usually composed of a carbonaceous material, such as graphite.
  • each of the cathode blocks On the undersides of the cathode blocks are usually provided in each case grooves, in each of which at least one or two bus bars are arranged, through which the current supplied via the anodes is dissipated.
  • the gaps between the individual walls delimiting the grooves of the cathode blocks and the busbars are often poured with cast iron to to thereby electrically and mechanically connect the bus bars to the cathode blocks by the covering of the bus bars with cast iron produced thereby.
  • layer of liquid aluminum is formed, in particular of individual anode blocks, anode, between the and the surface of the aluminum, the electrolyte, ie the alumina and Cryolite-containing melt is located.
  • 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 and the electrolyte layer.
  • the dissolved in the melt aluminum oxide is split by electric current flow to aluminum and oxygen.
  • the layer of liquid aluminum is the actual cathode because aluminum ions are reduced to elemental aluminum on its surface.
  • the term cathode will not be understood below to mean the cathode from an electrochemical point of view, ie the layer of liquid aluminum, but rather the component forming the base of the electrolytic cell, for example 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.
  • the useful life of the cathode blocks is limited by the locations with the largest removal.
  • a cathode block has been proposed, whose groove for receiving one or more busbars, relative to the cathode block length, has a greater depth in the middle than at the cathode block ends.
  • the bus bar (s) is or are wrapped in a conventional manner with cast iron, said wrapping is done by pouring liquid cast iron in the space between the groove and the or the bus bar (s).
  • Such a cathode block is subject to disadvantages.
  • the cathode block is comparatively large Subjected to temperature changes, which lead to expansion or shrinkage of the cast iron and the bus bar (s) relative to the cathode block. This effect of expansion or shrinkage can be enhanced by occurring temperature gradients.
  • large temperature change (s) it is understood that one or both of said effects, ie, expansion / shrinkage or temperature gradient, is / are present.
  • the cast iron and the bus bar (s) expand with a temperature increase relative to the cathode block, whereas they shrink with a temperature decrease relative to the cathode block.
  • the electrical contact between the busbar, cast iron and cathode block deteriorates, which leads to an increased electrical resistance of the arrangement and thus to a poor energy efficiency of the electrolysis process.
  • the bus bar (s) are movable in the space between the groove and the bus bar (s) both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction before pouring the molten cast iron so that they are poured of the molten cast iron and during the subsequent cooling and solidification of the cast iron can move uncontrollably in the groove, which can also lead to a non-uniform electrical contact between busbar, cast iron and cathode block. This also leads to an increased electrical resistance of the arrangement and thus to a poor energy efficiency of the electrolysis process.
  • the cast iron ramming mass can also be used.
  • ramming mass ramming compounds based on anthracite, graphite and any mixtures thereof can be used.
  • a ramming mass based on graphite is used.
  • DE 2 405 461 and EP 0 052 577 describe a cathode block based on carbon having a groove in whose side walls in each case a recess is present.
