Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrolytic cells employing electrodes supported by individual bars or rods of conductor material suspended from one or more cell anode bus bars. More particularly, this invention concerns a novel system for supporting the anodes of an electrolytic cell for the production of aluminum and maintaining current flow therein during position adjustments of the cell anode bus bar mounted on the anode-supporting superstructure of the cell.
  • anodes are individually suspended from metal anode rods or conductor bars, for example of copper or aluminum, which in turn are suitably aixed to supporting conductors or cell anode bus bars which are positioned substantially horizontally above the cavity of the electrolytic cell.
  • metal anode rods or conductor bars for example of copper or aluminum
  • supporting conductors or cell anode bus bars which are positioned substantially horizontally above the cavity of the electrolytic cell.
  • the lower portion of the anodes is consumed or burned olf, and the anodes must be lowered in order t have the lower surface thereof in the proper position in the electroylte. Accordingly, a suitable jacking mechanism must be provided for lowering and raising the supporting cell anode bus bars.
  • the anodes In order to avoid the necessity of removing and replacing all of the anodes at once, they are staggered in their vertical position such that only one or two require replacing at a given time. In view of such staggering, it is necessary, when the supporting cell arode bus bars have reached their lowest position, to be able to maintain the anodes in a fixed position relative to the electrolyte while the supporting cell anode bus bars are raised to their highest position. After the supporting cell anode bus bars are raised to their highest position, the anodes may be lowered further by lowering the supporting cell anode bus bars. Accordingly, suitable structural members or auxiliary anode bus bars are provided above and parallel to the supporting cell anode bus bars.
  • the metal anode rods are of sutlicient length that the ends of the rods extend to a position above the structural auxiliary anode bus bars when the electrode is at its. lowest position.
  • the rods may be afxed to the structural auxiliary anode bus bars to maintain them in position.
  • the rods may then be disengaged from the supporting cell anode bus bars and the supporting cell anode bus bars moved to the uppermost position.
  • the rods may be again aixed to the supporting cell anode bus bars and disengaged from the structural auxiliary anode bus bars. Lowering of the rods and electrodes may then be resumed by lowering the supporting conductors or anode bus bars.
  • an anode When an anode has been consumed to a point where it needs to be replaced, the replacement is done with the aid of a suitable lifting device such as a crane.
  • a suitable lifting device such as a crane.
  • an opening is generally provided in the Patented Dec. 16, 1969 ICC upper end of the metal anode rod for engagement by a hook of the crane. Accordingly, the metal anode rods must be sufficiently long to extend to the structural auxiliary anode bus bars and also extend somewhat beyond to make possible engaging the crane hook in the opening.
  • This conventional system has several disadvantages.
  • the anode rods must be long enough to be clamped to either bus and the superstructure of the cell must be strong enough to support the auxiliary anode bus bar and all its related appendages. This means the superstructure of the cell must be much stronger than it would otherwise have to be. Since the resultant superstructure is taller than it otherwise need be, the building must also be taller than it otherwise need be. It takes as much as torty-five minutes per cell to raise the main bus and reclamp the anodes by this conventional procedure.
  • the instant invention is concerned with providing a novel system for supporting the anode of an electrolytic cell for the production of aluminum and maintaining current ow therein during position adjustment of the cell anode bus bar mounted on the anode supporting superstructure of the cell.
  • the novel system of this invention is independent of the superstructure of the cell. Consequently, a lighter superstructure may be utilized in the design and construction of the cell. This makes possible a substantial reduction in the cost of the cell. Whereas the conventional procedure can require as much as fortyve minutes per cell to raise the main bus and reclamp the anodes, the task, using the instant system, can be accomplished in approximately ten minutes.
  • novel system of this invention is advantageous in that shorter anode rods can be used which result in additional cost saving since the anode rods are made of relatively costly materials such as aluminum or copper. There is less wear and tear on the anode rods which results in a further savings.
  • a further advantage of the novel system of this invention is that there is no sparking with consequent deterioration of the electrical connection of the main anode bus and anode rod during position adjustment of the cell anode bus bar. This greatly increases the life of both the cell anode bus bar and the anode rod.
  • This invention relates to auxiliary apparatus for supporting the anodes of an electrolytic cell for the production ⁇ of aluminum and maintaining current flow therein during position adjustment of the cell anode bus bar mounted on the anode supporting superstructure of the cell
  • the apparatus includes an elongated frame member and means for positioning the frame member in juxtaposition with the superstructure of the cell.
  • An Auxiliary anode bus bar is mounted on the frame and is adapted to be positioned substantially parallel to an anode bus bar of the cell.
  • Means are associated with the frame and'auxiliary anode bus bar for clamping the anode rods supporting the cell anodes to the auxiliary anode but bar in current conducting engagement.
  • Flexible leads are attached to each end of the auxiliary anode bus bar and a clamp is attached to the free end of each ⁇ flexible lead.
  • Means are provided for attaching the clamps to the ends of the cell anode bus bar in current conducting engagement so that the current bypasses the cell anode bus bar and ows into the cell via the axiliary anode bus bar and the anode rods clamped in current conducting engagement therewith.
  • the elongated frame member may be suspended from overhead rails for positional movement, or it may be mounted on wheels therefor, or in any other appropriate manner.
  • the elongated frame member may extend only along one side of the superstructure of the cell, it may also be constructed so as to resemble an inverted U in cross-section whereby it envelops the superstructure of the cell when positioned in juxtaposition therewith.
  • an auxiliary anode bus bar and the related appendages may be provided on each leg of the U. This means that the main anode bus bars on both sides of the superstructure of the cell may be adjusted without having to change the position of the auxiliary apparatus of the instant invention.
