Definitions
- the known type of continuously self-burning electrodes is based on melting down in a sheet iron pipe a plastic mass consisting of crushed anthracite or coke, to which are added pitch and tar as binding agent. As this mass becomes completely liquefied by heating and firstly assumes a solid state and then is coked at relatively high temperatures, it is necessary that the sheet iron pipe follows the electrode mass down into the bath and is here corroded away with the same. it is here to be noted that coking of the mass is necessary in order to obtain a sufliclent electrical conductivity.
- the sheet iron pipe may not be separated from the mass is that the latter sticks and adheres to the sheet iron.
- the disadvantage of this electrode is that the sheet iron envelope increases the cost of the electrode, nrlinarily because of the relatively high costs of manufacturing the envelope, which generally takes place by welding or riveting. Further the addition of iron received by the bath through melting down of the sheet pipe may act uniavorably in certain metallurgical processes.
- a constructional form oi self-burning elec trodes has been suggested in which the sheet iron pipe or mantel is avoided by suspending the electrode at its lower portion, which has heen burnt to such a degree that it has sufiicient to permit of the attachment of the suspension means.
- the diiliculty of constructing a continuous electrode without an iron mantel has been that has had no binding agent for the mass which,
- the binding agent is of such a nature that it binds and cokes at a relatively moderate temperature, at 200-300 C., for example it is possible in practice in this zone, without difllculty, to supply the current by means of ordinary current supplying laws.
- the quantity of suiphite lye which should be added in order to obtain a suflicient binding power may advantageously be fixed at between ill-35%, and that the subsequent drying may suitably take place at a temperature of above loll C.-"lld C.
- waste lye as used above and in the claims shall be understood waste lye from the production of sulphlte cellulose, regardless of Whether it refers to the ordinary sulphite process, which operates with calcium bisulphite, or other sulphite processes, for example one in which ammonia bisulphite is used.
- a solution according to the invention may eventually also be produced by the mixing of its individual components.
- the invention will be particularly applicable in connection with a stationary pipe or mantel, mounted above the bath, which shapes the electrode and holds it together until the mass, through the influence of heat, has turned consistent so that it may be passed down into the furnace as it is being consumed.
- a casing of heat resisting material through which the hot gases from the melting bath are passed in such a way that the pipe and consequently the electrode mass is heated to a few hundred degrees, so that the mass which is passed through the pipe stiffens and hardens and forms a firm, glutinated mass.
- this embodiment is shown diagrammatically: I designates the furnace arch, 2 the bath surface and 3 the casing of heat resisting material mounted on the furnace arch.
- the shaping pipe 4 which at the top is provided with a funnel shaped expansion 5 in which the electrode mass consisting of a premixed mass of, for example 90% cokeand/or anthracite powder and about concentrated sulphite lye is stamped down.
- the hot gases from the furnace pass through the casing 3 and out through a discharge pipe 1, which is provided with a control damper 8. Through influence of heat from the gas the electrode mass will first stiffen and thereupon coke to a consistent electrode.
- Below the pipe 4 are mounted current supplying jaws, in-
- the current is supplied through the lead III, which is suitably passed through the casing I.
