Definitions
- the present invention relates to an aluminum smelter, a method of using this smelter and a method for stirring alumina in the electrolysis tanks of this smelter. It is known to produce aluminum industrially from alumina by electrolysis according to the Hall-Héroult method.
- an electrolytic cell comprising a steel box inside which is arranged a coating of refractory materials, a cathode of carbon material, crossed by cathode conductors for collecting the electrolysis current at the cathode to lead to cathode outlets through the bottom or sides of the box, routing conductors extending substantially horizontally to the next vessel from the cathode outlets, an electrolytic bath in which is dissolved alumina at least one anode assembly comprising at least one anode immersed in said electrolytic bath, an anode frame to which the anode assembly is suspended, and electrolysis current rise conductors extending from bottom to top connected to the conductors for routing the preceding electrolytic cell to convey the electrolysis current from the cathode outlets to the anodic frame e and the anode assembly and the anode of the next vat.
- the anodes are more particularly of anode type precooked with precooked carbon blocks, that is to say cooked before introduction into the electrolytic cell.
- Aluminum production plants, or aluminum smelters traditionally comprise several hundred electrolytic cells, aligned transversely in parallel queues and connected in series.
- MHD magnetohydrodynamic instabilities
- the horizontal component of the magnetic field generated by the whole the path of the electric current, both in the conductors located inside the tank and those located outside, interacts with the electrical current flowing through the liquids, which generates a stationary deformation of the metal sheet.
- the unevenness of the metal sheet caused must remain low enough so that the anodes are consumed uniformly with little waste.
- it is necessary that the horizontal components of the magnetic field are the most antisymmetric possible in liquids (electrolytic bath and metal sheet).
- antisymmetric means that when we move perpendicular to the central axis of the tank, parallel to the relevant component of the field, and when we go located at equal distance on either side of this central axis, the value of the component considered is opposite.
- the antisymmetry of the horizontal components of the magnetic field is the configuration providing the most symmetrical interface interface and as flat as possible in the tank. It is known, in particular patent documents FR1079131 and FR2469475, to fight against MHD instabilities by compensating the magnetic field created by the circulation of the electrolysis current, thanks to a particular arrangement of the conductors conducting the electrolysis current.
- the main advantage of self-compensation is the use of the electrolysis current itself to compensate for MHD instabilities.
- Another solution for reducing MHD instabilities consists in using a secondary electrical circuit, or external loop, along the rows of electrolysis cells, on the sides.
- This secondary electrical circuit is traversed by a current whose intensity equals a predetermined percentage of the intensity of the electrolysis current.
- the outer loop generates a magnetic field that compensates for the effects of the magnetic field created by the electrolysis current of the next row of electrolysis cells.
- the external loop compensation solution has the advantage of having a secondary circuit independent of the main circuit traversed by the electrolysis current.
- the arrangement of the secondary circuit located on the sides of the tank lines near the short sides of the boxes, at the height of the bath-metal interface, allows compensation of the vertical component without impacting the horizontal component of the magnetic field.
- the external loop compensation solution significantly reduces the length, mass and electrical losses of the routing conductors, but requires an additional power station and additional independent secondary electrical circuit,
- the external loop compensation solution involves a combination of magnetic fields, with the current of the series, creating a very strong total ambient field, so that it implies constraints on operations and equipment (for example shielding necessary vehicles), and so that the magnetic field of a queue impacts the stability of the tanks of the next file.
- constraints on operations and equipment for example shielding necessary vehicles
- the magnetic field of a queue impacts the stability of the tanks of the next file.
- junction portion of the electrolysis circuit and the secondary circuit joining the ends of two adjacent rows of electrolytic cells tends to destabilize the end of the tank.
- this portion of the secondary circuit it is possible to configure this portion of the secondary circuit according to a predetermined path, as is known from patent FR2868436, to correct the magnetic field so that the impact on the tanks end-to-end becomes acceptable.
- this path lengthens the length of the secondary circuit, therefore the material cost.
- the usual solution is to move the junction portion of the secondary circuit and the electrolysis circuit of the tanks located at the end of the line, but this increases the space requirement in addition to increasing the length of the electrical conductors so the material and energy cost.
- the present invention aims to overcome all or part of these disadvantages by providing an aluminum smelter with a magnetic configuration for improved performance and a small footprint.
- the subject of the present invention is an aluminum smelter, comprising at least one row of electrolysis cells arranged transversely with respect to the length of the line, one of the electrolytic cells comprising a box, and anode assemblies comprising a support and at least one anode, and a cathode crossed by cathode conductors for collecting the electrolysis current at the cathode to lead it to cathode outlets outside the box, characterized in that the electrolytic cell comprises electrical conductors for mounting and connecting to the anode assemblies extending upwardly along two opposite longitudinal edges of the electrolytic cell to conduct the electrolysis current to the anode assemblies, and routing conductors connected to the cathode outlets and for conducting the electrolysis current from the cathodic outputs to the electrical conductors of connection of the next electrolysis cell, and in that the aluminum smelter comprises at least one compensation electric circuit extending under the electrolytic cells, said compensation circuit being traversed by a current l 2 compensation circulating under the electrolysis tanks in the opposite
- the compensation circuit is traversed by a current l 2 of compensation flowing under the electrolysis tanks in the opposite direction of the overall flow direction of the electrolysis current flowing through the electrolysis cells located above.
- the intensity of the compensation current I 2 is of the order of 50% to 150% of the intensity of the electrolysis current.
- the electrical conductors of rise and connection are arranged in the inter-tank spaces, at the two longitudinal sides of the electrolytic cell, on either side of the tank to compensate each other and obtain a substantially antisymmetric distribution of the horizontal components of the magnetic field of the tank providing a small difference in elevation of the aluminum sheet without impacting the vertical component of the magnetic field, so that the electrical conductors of the tank, among the conductors routing, mounting and connection , causing an unfavorable vertical and horizontal magnetic field to be compensated are, in practice, only horizontal-bottomed tank conductors beneath the casing, that is, more specifically the routing conductors.
- the compensation of this unfavorable magnetic field is then obtained by means of the compensation electric circuit, which can advantageously be traversed by a current I 2 of intensity compensation of the order of 50% to 150% of the intensity of the current electrolysis, and circulating under the electrolysis tanks in the opposite direction of the overall flow direction of the electrolysis current I- ⁇ in the electrolysis tanks located above.
- the magnetic field is weak or virtually canceled near the tanks and rows of tanks and the aluminum plant according to the invention, so that the constraints related to strong magnetic fields on the operations and equipment used in the aluminum smelter are deleted. Also, the magnetic field of a queue no longer affects the stability of the tanks of the neighboring queue so that neighboring tank lines can be brought together and two rows of neighboring tanks can in particular be placed in the same building of reduced width, so that significant savings in structural costs can be realized even when a compensation circuit is used.
- the compensation circuit passes under the electrolytic cells, and not on the sides of the electrolysis cell line or rows.
- a space is clear on both sides of the row or rows of electrolysis tanks. This allows to consider a lateral clearance of each electrolysis tank, and more particularly the box, which is less expensive than lifting.
- the absence of heavy and expensive lifting solutions offers significant structural savings.
- the compensation electric circuit is a secondary electrical compensation circuit distinct from the electrical circuit traversed by the electrolysis current I-I. Separate means that the two circuits are not electrically connected.
- the compensation circuit is damaged and cut or can not no longer operate normally, this affects the efficiency, because the compensation circuit can no longer compensate the magnetic field generated by the circulation of the electrolysis current, but the smelter can continue to operate in degraded mode with a lower yield without suffering from detrimental stop, since the current flowing in the compensation circuit is intended for magnetic field compensation only and not for the production of aluminum.
- the use of a separate secondary compensation circuit also offers the possibility of changing over time the compensation magnetic field created by this compensation circuit. It is necessary for this purpose to vary the intensity of the current flowing in the secondary electrical compensation circuit. This is of paramount importance in terms of scalability and adaptability.
- the secondary electrical compensation circuit may be more particularly powered by a clean power station, different from the station supplying the electrolysis cells with electrolysis current.
- the aluminum plant comprises two rows of tanks arranged parallel to one another, fed by the same station, and electrically connected in series so that the electrolysis current flowing in the first two rows of tanks then circulates in the second of the two rows of tanks in a direction generally opposite to that in which it circulated in the first of the two rows, and in that the compensation circuit forms a loop under these two rows of parallel tanks.
- the secondary electrical compensation circuit forms a loop under the tanks, it becomes advantageous to use an electrical conductor made of a superconducting material in order to achieve it, and it is above all possible to carry out several turns in series, as described in the application for WO2013007893 in the name of the applicant.

- electrical conductor upstream and upstream connection and electrical conductor upstream and downstream connection is meant electrical conductors rise and connect arranged respectively next to the longitudinal edge upstream or downstream of the electrolytic cell, the upstream longitudinal edge corresponding to the one that is closest to the beginning of the electrolysis cell line and the downstream longitudinal edge corresponding to the longitudinal edge of the electrolysis cell farthest from the beginning of the electrolysis cell line, taking into account the meaning overall flow of electrolysis current at the scale of the electrolysis cell line.
- the electrical conductors for mounting and connection are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal median plane of the electrolytic cell.
- the rising and connecting electrical conductors extending along one of the two longitudinal edges of the electrolytic cell are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the electrical conductors for mounting and connection.

This further enhances the advantageous antisymmetric characteristic of the horizontal magnetic field distribution in liquids.
- the routing conductors extend under the electrolytic cell substantially straight, and only in a direction transverse to the electrolysis cell. This limits the length and cost of the electrical conductors by minimizing the length of the conductors extending in the longitudinal direction of the vessel.
- the magnetic fields generated by such longitudinal electrical conductors are also limited in embodiments of the prior art, especially with regard to self-compensated tanks.
- the space is clear on both sides of the row or rows of electrolytic cells, which limits at least the longitudinal dimension of the entire tanks / electrical conductors and allows to consider a release side of each electrolysis tank, and more particularly the box, which is less expensive than lifting.
- the compensation electric circuit may comprise electrical conductors extending substantially parallel to a transverse axis of the electrolysis cells.
- the compensation electric circuit comprises electrical conductors forming a plurality of secondary electrical secondary compensation sub-circuits independent of each other.
- Each of these secondary electrical compensation sub-circuits is traversed by an intensity compensation current that can be variable independently of the intensity of the electrolysis current.

- said electrical conductors are substantially equidistant and distributed substantially symmetrically with respect to a transverse center axis of the electrolysis cells.
- each module may comprise, for example, an electrical conductor of the compensation electric circuit and a number of routing conductors and associated risers and connection conductors for each electrolysis cell.
- the conductor circuit, and therefore each tank, can be composed of a number of modules, determining the length of the tanks and the intensity of the current flowing through the tanks.
- the choice of the number of modules per tank during the design or an extension of the length of the tanks by the addition of such modules does not disturb the magnetic equilibrium of the tanks, unlike the lengthening of tanks of the self-compensated or compensated type by of the magnetic compensation circuits arranged on the sides of known prior art tanks for which the conductor circuits must be completely redrawn.
- the ratio of the amount of material forming the conductor circuit brought to the production surface of the tanks does not deteriorate when extending the tanks, it increases proportionally to the number of modules and the intensity through the tanks.
- the tanks can be elongated simply according to the needs and the intensity of the current passing through them is not limited. It then becomes possible to increase the intensity of the current passing through the tanks above 1000 k amperes, or even 2000 k amperes.

- the compensation electric circuit is formed by three secondary electric compensation sub-circuits each making twenty turns in series and each made with electrical conductors of superconducting material, then the intensity of the compensation current traveling each of these three secondary electrical compensation sub-circuits can be of the order of one sixtieth of 70% to 130% of the intensity of the electrolysis current.
- each cathodic output leaves the box only in a vertical plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electrolytic cell.
- the cathode outlets pass through the bottom of the chamber of the electrolytic cell. Having outlets at the bottom instead of at the sides of the electrolytic cell decreases the length of the feed conductors, as well as the horizontal currents in the liquids, resulting in better MHD stability.
- the electrical conductors for routing may extend in a straight line, substantially parallel to a transverse direction of the electrolytic cell to the electrical conductors for mounting and connecting the next electrolytic cell.
- a electrolysis tank of the state of the art comprises a superstructure longitudinally crossing the electrolytic cell, above the box and anodes.

- Such an embodiment makes it possible to advantageously replace the anode by pulling it vertically upwards, since the anode towed upward does not encounter any elements having served at its connection. From this simplification of the placement and the anode removal there also arise savings in the management and operation of the aluminum plant according to the invention.
- the length of the rising and connecting conductors is reduced with respect to the use of conventional type rise and connection conductors which typically extend above the vessel into the longitudinal central portion of the vessel. This helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

This is to quantify the desired MHD instabilities.
- the alumina available for continuous operation of the smelter is of different quality, more or less pasty, and therefore having different abilities to dissolve in the electrolysis bath.
