Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general technical field of aluminum production by electrolysis in an electrolysis cell containing a cryolite bath (hereinafter referred to as " cryolite bath ").
  • an electrolytic cell comprising a plurality of anode assembly lifting devices contained in the electrolytic cell, each anode assembly comprising at least one precured carbon anode.
  • Aluminum is essentially produced by electrolysis of alumina dissolved in a cryolite bath.
  • Each anode assembly comprises an anode structure - composed of an anode rod and hooking means - mounted on at least one anode, more particularly a precooked carbon block.
  • a distribution of current as regular as possible between the various anode assemblies is essential for obtaining a good output of aluminum production. This is why the position of an anodic plane - defined by the lower faces of the anodes anode assemblies - must be precisely controlled.
  • the positioning of the anode plane is typically achieved by means of a jack and linkage system which drives in motion an anode frame and the plurality of anode assemblies which are attached and connected to this anode frame.
  • Such a cylinder and linkage system moving an anode frame disposed above the tank has the disadvantage of generating a large space above the tank.
  • the height, and therefore the cost, of the building in which the tanks are arranged depends on the height of the tanks so that this solution is not satisfactory.
  • a lifting device comprising a cylinder formed of a body and a rod, the cylinder body being arranged against a longitudinal side wall of the vessel box and the free end of the rod serving as a bearing structure for the anode assemblies .
  • a disadvantage of such a device is that the longitudinal side wall of the box, particularly at the liquid level, is very hot and radiates so that the operation and the life of the cylinder can be degraded.
  • the positioning of the cylinder gene thermal exchanges at the longitudinal side wall of the box which must be controllable to control the size of the slope formed in the tank, for example by air blowing as known from the patent publication WO99 / 54526 .
  • the stroke of the cylinder must be important so that the size, including longitudinal cylinder is problematic for positioning against the wall, due in particular to the limited space left in space inter-tanks by the various electrical conductors of the electrolysis current.
  • the lifting device also does not participate in the supply of the electrolysis current to the anode assembly so that when an anode assembly is changed, the electrical supply conductor must be manipulated in addition to be reconnected to the new anode set.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a tank comprising a lifting system whose configuration allows to overcome, at least in part, the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the invention proposes an electrolytic cell that can be used for the production of aluminum, comprising a box including a bottom and transverse and longitudinal lateral walls, the box being covered with an inner lining intended to receive a cryolite bath and a plurality of anode assemblies each including an anode structure and at least one anode immersed in the cryolite bath, the vessel further comprising a plurality of lifting devices extending along the longitudinal side walls of the housing for moving the anode assemblies, each anode structure extending transversely in the vessel and being associated with a respective pair of lifting devices disposed along opposite longitudinal side walls of the vessel and each carrying one of the ends of the anode structure, the lifting devices comprising a jack consisting of a body and a jack rod extending along a longitudinal axis B-B ', and an anode receiver for receiving an end of the anode structure, the jack being coupled to the anode receiver to animate it with a translational movement along a translation axis TT' between
  • Lifting devices do not extend above the anodes, preferably not above the cryolite bath and more preferably not above the well.
  • the term above must be understood as above the element to which it relates and in a volume formed by vertical translation of the surface obtained by projection of this element in a horizontal plane. The lifting devices do not thus prevent a vertical stroke of the anode assemblies.
  • the lifting devices serve to move the anode units vertically in translation in the electrolytic cell to adjust the positioning of the anode plane during the operation of the electrolytic cell and form an integral part of the electrolytic cell.
  • the anode assemblies are of the precooked type intended to be changed periodically after wear of the anodes constituting them.
  • the anode structure can mechanically support the anodes which are precooked carbon blocks and ensure the electrical connection of the anode assembly at each change of anode assembly.
  • parallel and distinct axes means two parallel and non-coincident axes, that is to say spaced apart by a non-zero distance
  • the lifting devices may comprise a transverse link beam between the jack rod and the anode receiver, said connecting beam preferably extending along a perpendicular transverse axis. to the longitudinal axis BB 'of the jack and to the translation axis T-T'.
  • the assembly consisting of the cylinder rod, the connecting beam and the anode receiver can form a U-shaped structure so that the cylinder body extends facing anodic receptor.
  • facing is meant that at least one plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder passes through the cylinder body and the anode receiver. This makes it possible to limit the height of the lifting devices.
  • the connecting beam is integral with the cylinder rod and the connecting beam is mounted integral with the anode receiver. This makes it possible to transmit the movements of the rod to the anode receiver.
  • the anode receiver may comprise a bar extending along the translation axis T-T '.
  • this bar comprises a housing at one of its ends, said housing being intended to receive the end of the anode structure.
  • This bar allows mechanical retention of the anode structure above the cryolite bath. It can also allow the conduction of the electric current for the supply of the anode assemblies. To do this, a portion of the bar is electrically connected to flexible electrical conduction means.
  • the anode assembly is in particular electrically powered via the housing, and more particularly the surfaces in contact with the anode structure and the housing.
  • a fastening system may be provided to secure the anode structure to the housing.
  • This fixing system may include means for plating the anode structure against the housing to ensure the conduction of the current between the housing and the anode structure.
  • the bar may be of rectangular or square section to improve its mechanical strength. It may further comprise a steel skeleton and copper portions housed in or around the skeleton for conveying electrical energy to the anode assemblies.
  • the lifting devices may include means for guiding the anode receiver to guide the movement of the anode receiver along the translation axis T-T '.
  • the guide means at least partially surround the anode receiver and define a sliding guide path for the anode receiver.
  • the guide means may comprise two rings spaced apart by a non-zero distance along the translation axis T-T ', each ring surrounding a portion of the anode receiver.
  • each ring may comprise a slot for the passage of the connecting beam when moving the anode receiver between the retracted and deployed positions. This makes it possible to maximize the distance between the rings in order to avoid any angular play of the bar in the guide means. We guarantee thus a displacement in vertical translation of the anode receiver.
  • the lifting devices are attached to the electrolytic cell so that the translation axis T-T 'of each anode receiver (and thus the longitudinal axis of the cylinder) is vertical.

  • the translation axis TT ' is preferably vertical, the anode receptors being able to move in vertical translation through the openings in the plate.
  • the anode receivers pass through the containment chamber through annular dynamic seal seals. This makes it possible to further improve the tightness of the tank.
  • the jacks of the lifting devices can extend outside the tank.
