Description

COMPOSICIÓN DE ELECTROLITO PARA LA OBTENCIÓN DE ALUMINIO  ELECTROLYTE COMPOSITION FOR ALUMINUM OBTAINING
METÁLICO Sector técnico de la invención  METAL Technical sector of the invention
La presente invención está relacionada con la producción de aluminio metálico a partir de un proceso electrolítico. En particular, la presente invención está relacionada con la composición del electrolito empleado en tal producción y que permite llevar a cabo la reacción en las condiciones óptimas para obtener un alto rendimiento en la obtención del aluminio.  The present invention is related to the production of metallic aluminum from an electrolytic process. In particular, the present invention is related to the composition of the electrolyte used in such production and which allows the reaction to be carried out under optimum conditions to obtain a high yield in obtaining the aluminum.
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
Desde el punto de vista industrial, el aluminio metálico se obtiene a través de un proceso de reducción electrolítica de alúmina. La electrólisis en cuestión se lleva a cabo en baño de criolita (Na3AIF6) fundida en el que está disuelta la alúmina. La criolita y la alúmina son pues los componentes principales del electrolito. From an industrial point of view, metallic aluminum is obtained through an alumina electrolytic reduction process. The electrolysis in question is carried out in a molten cryolite bath (Na 3 AIF 6 ) in which the alumina is dissolved. Cryolite and alumina are thus the main components of the electrolyte.
El proceso de electrólisis se efectúa en una cuba electrolítica llamada también baño de aluminio. El tamaño de la celda depende en gran manera de la corriente de electrólisis que se haya de emplear. La celda electrolítica es una caja de acero revestida interiormente de carbono. El dispositivo de cátodo está dotado de una envoltura revestida interiormente de la capa de material refractario y de carbono. El cátodo sirve de superficie del aluminio líquido que se halla en contacto con el electrolito.  The electrolysis process is carried out in an electrolytic cell, also called an aluminum bath. The cell size depends largely on the electrolysis current to be used. The electrolytic cell is a carbon-coated steel case. The cathode device is provided with an internally coated envelope of the layer of refractory and carbon material. The cathode serves as the surface of the liquid aluminum that is in contact with the electrolyte.
El dispositivo de ánodo consta del ánodo de carbón sumergido parcialmente en el electrólito. El carbono del ánodo se oxida en el curso de la electrólisis y se convierte en dióxido de carbono.  The anode device consists of the carbon anode partially submerged in the electrolyte. The anode carbon oxidizes in the course of electrolysis and converts to carbon dioxide.
Con objeto de minimizar las pérdidas de calor y de corriente, es deseable llevar a cabo la electrólisis a la temperatura más baja posible.  In order to minimize heat and current losses, it is desirable to carry out electrolysis at the lowest possible temperature.
El punto de fusión del aluminio es de 657°C, y el de la criolita está alrededor de 1000°C, pero se puede reducir a unos 915°C por la presencia de un 5% de alúmina. La adición de otras sustancias como fluoruro de calcio o fluoruro de aluminio, reducen su punto hasta unos 800°C.  The melting point of aluminum is 657 ° C, and that of the cryolite is around 1000 ° C, but it can be reduced to about 915 ° C by the presence of 5% alumina. The addition of other substances such as calcium fluoride or aluminum fluoride, reduce its point to about 800 ° C.
Son conocidos las composiciones de electrolito que contiene fluoruro de potasio, además de fluoruro de calcio, fluoruro de magnesio y criolita de sodio. El fluoruro de potasio compuesto produce una disminución de la temperatura de operación y una subida de la solubilidad de la alúmina.  Electrolyte compositions containing potassium fluoride, in addition to calcium fluoride, magnesium fluoride and sodium cryolite are known. Compound potassium fluoride produces a decrease in operating temperature and an increase in alumina solubility.
El parámetro esencial de la pila electrolítica para la producción de aluminio es la solubilidad de la alúmina. Cuanta más alta sea la solubilidad de la alúmina y más alta sea la densidad de corriente, más productiva será la electrólisis. The essential parameter of the electrolytic cell for the production of aluminum is the alumina solubility. The higher the alumina solubility and the higher the current density, the more productive the electrolysis will be.
Durante la electrólisis los componentes del electrolito se vaporizan y ello da lugar al cambio de su composición. De este modo existe la necesidad de suministrar el electrolito con diversos componentes para poder mantener la composición correcta. El fluoruro de potasio, aunque da lugar a efectos beneficiosos en el proceso electrolítico como los citados anteriormente, es una sal muy hidroscopica y puede ser la fuente de agua no deseada en el electrolito. During electrolysis the electrolyte components vaporize and this results in the change of their composition. In this way there is a need to supply the electrolyte with various components to maintain the correct composition. Potassium fluoride, although it gives rise to beneficial effects in the electrolytic process as mentioned above, is a very hydroscopic salt and can be the source of unwanted water in the electrolyte.
Otra fuente posible de fluoruro de potasio puede ser KF*HF pero este compuesto presenta un gran inconveniente y es que se descompone y evoluciona a ácido fluorhídrico muy agresivo y dañino.  Another possible source of potassium fluoride can be KF * HF but this compound has a great drawback and is that it decomposes and evolves into very aggressive and harmful hydrofluoric acid.
Para solucionar los inconvenientes antes mencionados, la presente invención tiene por objeto la provisión de un electrolito mejorado para la producción de aluminio metálico, que da lugar a más bajos puntos de fusión y alta eficiencia de corriente, evitando los inconvenientes de otros electrolitos ya conocidos.  In order to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, the present invention aims at providing an improved electrolyte for the production of metallic aluminum, which results in lower melting points and high current efficiency, avoiding the inconveniences of other known electrolytes.
