- the present invention relates to a plant for producing aluminum from alumina by electrolysis, also known as an aluminum smelter. It is known to produce aluminum industrially from alumina by electrolysis according to the Hall-Héroult method.
- an electrolytic cell composed in particular of a steel box, a refractory lining, and a cathode made of carbon material, connected to conductors used to carry the electrolysis current.
- the electrolytic cell also contains an electrolytic bath consisting in particular of cryolite in which is dissolved alumina.
- the Hall-Héroult process consists in partially immersing a carbon block constituting the anode in this electrolytic bath, the anode being consumed as and when the reaction progresses.
- At the bottom of the electrolytic cell is deposited by gravity liquid aluminum, produced by the electrolysis reaction, which forms a sheet of liquid aluminum which completely covers the cathode.
- aluminum production plants include several hundred electrolysis vessels connected in series in halls. These electrolysis tanks are traversed by an electrolysis current of the order of several hundreds of thousands of amperes, which creates significant magnetic fields. Depending on the distribution of the various components of the magnetic field in the tank, the aluminum sheet can be unstable, which greatly degrades the efficiency of the tank. It is known in particular that the vertical component of the magnetic field is a determining factor for the stability of an electrolytic cell.

- the horizontal currents are important in particularly conductive environments. This is particularly the case when the electrolysis current l 2 oo runs through the sheet of liquid aluminum 204.
- the present invention aims to remedy all or part of these disadvantages, by proposing an aluminum smelter in which the stability of the liquids contained in the electrolysis tanks is improved, and having costs of design, manufacture and operation lower.
- the subject of the present invention is an aluminum smelter comprising:
- each electrolysis cell comprising at least one anode, a cathode and a box provided with a side wall and a bottom, each cathode comprising at least one cathode outlet,
- a main electrical circuit traversed by an electrolysis current electrically connecting the electrolytic cells to each other, the electrolysis current firstly going through an electrolysis cell N, placed upstream, and secondly, an electrolysis cell N + 1 placed downstream, said main electrical circuit comprising an electrical conductor connected to each cathode output of the electrolysis cell N, the electrical conductor being also connected to the at least one anode of the electrolysis cell N + 1, for the purpose of conveying the current electrolysis of the electrolysis cell N to the electrolysis cell N + 1, characterized in that the aluminum smelter further comprises
- the invention makes it possible to improve the stability of the electrolysis tanks in the smelter by acting on both the horizontal currents passing through the tanks and on the magnetic field generated by the electrolysis current and / or the stability kinetics of the aluminum sheet contained in the tanks. It simultaneously allows a reduction in the bulk and mass of conductors carrying the electrolysis current from one tank to another, and therefore a reduction in costs associated with the design and manufacture of the aluminum smelter according to the invention. The energy losses are further reduced.

- This characteristic has the advantage of further reducing the size and weight of the electrical conductors carrying the electrolysis current from one tank to another.
- This cathodic output passes through the side wall of the chamber of the vessel N at its downstream side, in order to respect the characteristic that each electrical conductor extends in the direction of the vessel N + 1, in an upstream-downstream direction only. Due to the proximity of the downstream side of the tank N and the tank N + 1, the length of the electrical conductor connecting this cathodic output to the anode of the tank N + 1 is less than that of an electrical conductor connecting a cathodic outlet from the bottom of the tank N to the anode of the tank N + 1.
- this embodiment has the advantage of a reduction in the size and the length of the electrical conductors with respect to an embodiment of the aluminum plant according to the invention in which the tanks comprise cathode outlets by the background only.
- each downstream cathode output passing through the side wall of the box of the electrolysis vessel N comprises a metal bar, more particularly formed of steel, with an insert or a copper plate.
- the casing of the electrolysis cell N comprises a plurality of arches fixed to the side wall and to the bottom of the casing, the electrical conductors connected to each cathode outlet passing through the bottom of the casing of the electrolysis cell N extending between the hoops.
- the electrolysis cells comprise short-circuiting means.
- the short-circuiting means make it possible to short-circuit an electrolysis cell with a view to removing it for maintenance operations, while continuing the exploitation of the other tanks of the series.
- the short-circuiting means of the N + 1 electrolysis cell comprise at least one short-circuiting electrical conductor permanently placed between the electrolysis cell N and the electrolysis cell N + 1, each electrical conductor short-circuiting circuit being electrically connected to one of the electrical conductors connected to a b

- each short-circuiting electrical conductor being electrically connected to one of the electrical conductors connected to a cathode output of the tank passing through the bottom of the chamber of the electrolysis cell N, and each short-circuiting electrical conductor being located at a short distance from one of the electrical conductors connected to one of the cathodic outputs of the N + 1 electrolysis cell.
- the short distance between the shorting conductor and the other conductor forms locations for the introduction of shorting chocks.

This makes it possible to reduce the voltage drop at which each secondary circuit is subjected, which allows energy savings and to use a substation for supplying each secondary circuit of lower power, which is therefore less expensive. This feature also reduces material costs, compared to aluminum or copper conductors. It finally makes it possible to reduce the size of the electrical conductors, which results in a saving of space in the aluminum smelter.

- the secondary electrical circuits 5 and 6 are respectively traversed by electric currents l 2 and l 3 .
- the value of the intensity of the electric currents I 2 and I 3 is between 20% and 100% of that of the intensity of the electrolysis current and preferably between 40% and 70%, and more particularly of the electrolysis current. order of half.
- the direction of routing of the electric currents l 2 and l 3 is advantageously the same as the direction of routing of the electrolysis current.
- the secondary electrical circuits 5 and 6 can each be connected to a respective power substation 20 and 21, distinct from the power substation 3, as can be seen for example in FIG. 15 or in FIG. 16.
- the secondary electrical circuits 5 and 6 are formed by electrical conductors arranged parallel to the alignment axes of the 2. They go along the right and left sides of the electrolysis tanks 2 of each row F, F 'of the series.
- the secondary electrical circuits 5 and 6 can also pass wholly or partly under the electrolysis tanks 2.
- one or more cathode blocks 8 having a crenellated upper face, as shown in Figures 17 to 21.
- the upper face of these cathode blocks 8 comprises at least one channel 8a extending longitudinally over at least a portion of the length of the cathode blocks 8.
- the upper surface of the crenals is covered by the aluminum sheet and the channels 8a are occupied by the sheet 1 1 of aluminum which is formed during the electrolysis reaction.
- the height of the aluminum sheet above the upper surface of the crenellations is in particular between 3 and 20 cm.

- the anodes 9 are connected to a support structure by rods 10. During the electrolysis reaction, a sheet 1 1 of liquid aluminum is formed.
- the cathode comprises cathode outlets 12 passing through the caisson 7.
- the cathode outlets 12 are formed for example by metal bars fixed on the cathode blocks 8.

- the cathode outlets 12 advantageously cross the bottom 7b of the box 7. This makes it possible to reduce the horizontal electric currents in order to improve the efficiency of the vats 2. Indeed, for the same mass of steel used for the horizontal part under the anodes of the cathodic output, the overall current density is decreased and thus the potential drop. Also, the current lines tend to extend substantially rectilinearly, and thus vertically in the aluminum sheet as naturally between the anodes and the electrical conductors.

In particular, they do not pass through the plane containing the upstream side wall of the box 7 of the vessel N.
- the rectilinear extension only downstream parallel to the axis of alignment of the electrolysis tanks 2 constitutes the shortest electrical path that can connect a cathode outlet of the tank N, passing through the bottom 7b of the box 7 of this tank N, up to the anode 9 of the next tank N + 1.
- the electrolysis current flowing through the tank N passes through the cathode outlets 12 and the electrical conductors 14 connected to the cathode outlets 12.
- the electrolysis current by traversing the electrical conductors 14 is routed in a straight line parallel to the axis of alignment of the tanks 2 towards the next tank N + 1. This allows in particular to save energy.
- this arrangement makes it possible to limit the space in the vicinity of the electrolysis tanks 2. It then becomes possible to reduce the distance between two adjacent tanks 2 to increase the space available in the aluminum smelter 1, for example to add additional electrolysis tanks 2 or reduce the size of buildings.
- the fact of using electrical conductors 14 extending rectilinearly from one tank to the other parallel to the axis of alignment of the tanks 2 simplifies the structure of these electrical conductors 14. Their modularity makes their more economical manufacturing. It should be noted that this particular arrangement is made possible in particular by the existence of the first secondary electric circuit 5 and the second secondary electric circuit 6 which compensate for the effects of the magnetic field created by the electrolysis current, or that of the cathode. crenellated upper face which stabilizes the movements of the sheet 1 1 of liquid aluminum. It is indeed not necessary to configure the electrical conductors 14 so as to obtain self-compensation effects of this magnetic field at the scale of each electrolysis tank 2.

- the electrolysis tanks 2 have first cathode outlets 12 passing through the bottom 7b of the box 7, while second cathode outlets 12, located downstream of the first cathode outlets 12, pass through the side wall 7a downstream of the box 7.
- the electrolysis tanks 2 of the aluminum plant 1 according to this second embodiment thus have outlets cathodic 12 "mixed" because crossing the bottom 7b and the side wall 7a.
- the second cathode outlets 12 passing through the side wall 7a may comprise an element made of a better electrically conductive material than steel, in particular copper, in the form of, for example, a plate 16 or an insert.
- the copper plate 16 arranged on a steel bar makes it possible, by its high electrical conductivity, to rebalance the voltages at the first cathode outlets 12, passing through the bottom 7b, and the second cathode outlets 12, passing through the side wall 7a, and thus limit the horizontal electric currents in the aluminum sheet.

- the short-circuiting electrical conductors 17 are intended to short-circuit an N + 1 tank, for example to remove the latter for maintenance operations.
- the distance between the short-circuiting electrical conductors 17 and the electrical conductors 14 connected to the cathode outlets 12 of the tank N is then filled by a wedge into a conductive element (not shown) so as to conduct the electrolysis current h from the vessel N to the vessel N + 2 via this wedge, the electrical conductors 17 of short-circuiting and the electrical conductors 14 normally arranged under the vessel N + 1 (that is to say the electrical conductors 14 connected to the cathode outlets 12 passing through the bottom 7b of the box 7 of the tank N + 1 when it is in place).
- the electrical conductors 17 shorting may be aluminum. Since they are traveled only occasionally during short-circuiting by the electrolysis current (for maintenance operations of a tank 2, or at intervals of several years), they can be sized to work at the same time. higher current density permissible, which allows to limit their mass.
