Abstract
An alumina feeding apparatus with heat exchanger for electrolysis cells energy recovery is disclosed. The heat exchanger is integrated into the feeder. It is designed to preheat the alumina by using the heat of the gases generated by the reduction process, that otherwise would be wasted into off gas and potroom environment. The feeder with heat exchanger is embedded into a regular alumina hopper (2). The alumina feeding is activated by a pneumatic cylinder (3). Alumina passes through the alumina heating chamber (4) reaching the dosing device (6). A crust breaker (5) is necessary to guarantee the crust opening stability. When the pneumatic cylinder acts, the alumina falls into the discharging chute (7). A gas collection cap (8) is placed over the anode cover (13). It presents a vertical sliding degree of freedom allowing for the anode (14) height variation during anode life. The gas collection cap presents a controllable false air inlet gap (12). The hot gases evolving from anodes and bath (15) are collected and directed to the gas heat transfer chambers (10) in counter flow with regard to the alumina flow. Fins (11) are placed to enhance heat transfer from off gas to alumina flow. The gases leave the heat exchanger at the top where a draft control valve (9) with a temperature sensor (1) is used to monitor and control the off gas temperature and massflow.
Description
This invention relates to alumina feeder with
heat exchanger for prebake aluminium electrolysis cells
and it is particularly suited for energy recovery of the
Hall-Héroult aluminium cells, improving the cell energy efficiency.
The metallic aluminium is produced in
industrial scale by the Hall-Héroult process where the
alumina is electrochemically reduced inside a device
denominated aluminium electrolysis cell. The
electrolysis process occurs inside the liquid bath that
is a molten salt based on cryolite (Na3AlF6) with other
additives. Over the bath cavity, a solidified crust of
bath and alumina forms. The produced metallic aluminium
deposits on the metal pool due to its higher density
compared to the bath. Inside each cell, electrical
current flows downwards through the carbonaceous
consumable anodes, bath, molten metal pad and cathode
carbon block.
The process consumes large amounts of
electrical energy. Part of this energy must be consumed
to satisfy the chemical enthalpy of the reduction
process and another part of the energy is wasted by the
conductors’ electrical resistances and heat losses
through the boundaries of the electrolysis cell. The
carbon anodes are consumable and must be replaced
periodically, breaking the cell top crust during the
referred procedure. In this context, an important share
of the energy is lost at the cell cavity top. It usually
represents near 25% of the total cell energy
consumption.
Maintaining the bath alumina composition as
constant as possible is a key factor for improving the
efficiency of the aluminium smelting process. In the
current state of the art, the alumina is usually
supplied by point feeders (see patents US 4,437,964 A,
US 5,423,968, US 7,892,319 B2) delivering alumina
through holes in the crust in measured quantities. A
feeder is normally composed of a crust breaker and an
alumina dispenser. Alumina feeding must be performed in
controlled mass flow, avoiding excessive swing of bath
alumina concentration. Therefore, the feeders always
have means of dosing the amount of each alumina shot.
Not surprisingly, in the prior art, usually the feeders
patents are more concerned with the crust breaker
procedure and the correct dosing of the alumina dump.
Usually, alumina feeders did not present any special
features for alumina preheating or energy recovery, see
patents US 5,423,968, US 5,324,408, US 5,108,557, US
7,892,319 B2.
However, the concern about alumina preheating
has already been seen in earlier patents. Patent US
3,006,825 presents an alumina feeder wherein the alumina
is preheated by the burners’ off-gas in Soderberg cells;
the gases passing through an alumina fluidized bed. The
feeder disclosed in patent US 3,371,026 is claimed to
have the ability to preheat the alumina before feeding.
However none of these patents present special heat
transfer features such as heat exchanger chambers and/or
fins to promote or to enhance heat recovery.
The idea of channelling the bath gases has the
potential to enable energy recovery. The Distributed Pot
Suction was disclosed in Patent WO2010033037 and its
employment achieved reductions in overall cell off-gas
flow, reducing the top energy loss while increasing the
gas temperature. The reported energy saving by using
localized gas suction reached up to 0.4 kWh/kg Al. The
overall effect might be smaller because the energy loss
through other parts of the superstructure tends to increase.
The object of the present invention is the
development of an alumina feeding device equipped with a
heat exchanger in order to deliver preheated alumina
into the electrolysis cell bath. The main advantages of
the heat exchanger feeder compared with the
state-of-the-art feeders are: energy recovery from hot
gases emitted by the bath, improving the cell energy
efficiency; the fact that preheated alumina improves
alumina dissolution into the bath and the consequential
improvement on thermal stability of the cell because
less variations are induced on bath superheat.
In regular state-of-the-art feeders (see US
4,437,964 A, US 5,423,968, US 7,892,319 B2), there is no
special design features aiming the heat recovery or any
thermal use of the bath cavity evolving gases. In the
present invention (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), alumina passes
through a heating chamber in counter flow with the hot
gases chamber. Fins are placed (Fig. 3) inside the
referred chambers in order to improve the heat transfer efficiency.
The present invention also improves the hot
gas collection from the bath cavity, employing a
collection cap (8) over the feeding hole. The collection
cap reduces the off gas mass flow while increasing its
temperature up to a level suitable for preheating the alumina.
In the preferred embodiment the feeder and
heat exchanger assembly is embedded into the alumina
hopper (2). It can also be installed in existing
electrolysis cell technologies replacing regular
feeders. The alumina feeding is activated by a pneumatic
cylinder (3). Alumina passes through the alumina heating
chamber (4) reaching the dosing device (6). The alumina
heating chamber (4) and the gas heat transfer chambers
(10) are made from concentric tubes. Fins are installed
in all chambers to improve heat transfer efficiency
(11). A crust breaker (5) is placed at the center of the
concentric tubes to guarantee the crust opening
stability, it must be activated periodically. When the
pneumatic cylinder acts, the alumina falls into the
discharging chute (7). A gas collection cap (8) is
placed over the anode cover (13). It presents a vertical
sliding degree of freedom allowing for the anode height
variation due to anode (14) life. The gas collection cap
presents a controllable false air inlet gap (12). The
hot gases evolving from anodes (14) and liquid bath (15)
are collected and directed in counter flow with regard
to the alumina flow. The gases leave the heat exchanger
at the top where a draft control valve (9) with
temperature sensor (1) is used to monitor and control
the off gas temperature and massflow.
This invention refers to a new device for
feeding and preheating the alumina used as raw material
for metallic aluminium production, as shown in Fig 1,
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Preheating the alumina fed into the
bath has the potential to improve the electrolysis
process through many aspects:
A) Reduction in energy consumption to increase
the alumina temperature from ambient to process
temperature.
B) Dissolution of preheated alumina is easier
than cold alumina. The cell current efficiency improves
if dissolution is improved, as the cell becomes less
prone to muck and bath alumina concentration becomes
more homogeneous.
C) The alumina dissolution is an endothermic
process. The cell superheat must be high enough to be
able to provide energy for heating up and dissolving the
alumina. The bath superheat can be understood as an
energy reservoir used for this task. When feeding
preheated alumina, the cell superheat can be lowered and
therefore, heat losses through the sidewalls can be
decreased.
D) The heat exchanger device is accompanied
with localized pot suction. This potentially reduces the
top heat loss because the under hood space would present
lower temperature, reducing convection and radiation
heat losses. The total false air suction is around 100
times the cavity gas emission in current standard cell
technology. If the suction is localized, the false air
gas flow could be greatly reduced, reaching 5 to 10
times the cavity emissions.
In the view of the abovementioned facts, a
great advance in the electrolysis cell’s energy
efficiency can be obtained if the energy of the bath
evolving gases is used to preheat the alumina, moreover
if the gases are locally collected at higher temperature
and higher concentration.
The most common design of a counter flow heat
exchanger is composed of concentric ducts. Such design
would provide heat exchange from gas heat transfer
chamber (10) to the alumina heating chamber (4). Because
the short distance between the alumina hopper (2) and
the crust opening (commonly ~0.5-0.75 m), it has been
realized that the exchanger efficiency would be low
without any heat flux enhancement geometry. Fins (11)
have been placed inside the alumina duct and also inside
the gas duct spaces (Fig. 3), in order to improve heat
transfer, allowing the alumina to be heated up to ~600
°C according to numerical simulations.
The feeder needs to be activated by a
pneumatic cylinder (3) and alumina is delivered
batchwise. It is connected to the cell control system
that identifies the alumina necessity by variations in
the cell resistance. The mass of each alumina dump must
be precisely tracked and it is guaranteed by the dosing
device chamber (6) as shown in Fig.1. Alumina is then
directed to the liquid bath (15) through the crust hole
by a discharge chute (7). The chute helps reducing the
alumina fall velocity; which is important to prevent
metal sludge formation as alumina has to be mixed into
the bath, but if it reaches the bottom metal, it
deposits over the cell cathodic panel causing losses of
electrothermal efficiency. Inside the ducts, a crust
breaker (5) is installed to guarantee that the hole
remains open 100 % of the time. A small hood (8) is
placed over the hole, concentrating the gas collection.
The hood presents a vertical sliding degree of freedom,
which makes the feeder adjustable for the variations in
anode height present in the electrolysis cells, as
anodes (14) are consumable (in Fig.1 consumed anodes are
shown, in Fig. 2 new anodes are shown). A controlled
false air amount needs to be provided to the heat
exchanger in order to combust the carbon based emissions
before the main heat transfer zone. A false air inlet
(12) is placed at the hood with this purpose.
The gas temperature is monitored by a
temperature sensor (1) and the gas flow rate can be
controlled by the draft control valve (9). It is
desirable to maintain the off gas temperature as high as
possible combined with low gas flow rate, increasing the
heat exchanger efficiency. If the temperature is higher
than the desired limits, the control valve allows for
more gas flow increasing also the air infiltration rate
at the false air inlet (12).
The material selection for the heat exchanger
construction must take into account the aggressive
environment at the cell top. Because the presence of
combustion gases, including sulphur compounds, high
temperature and oxygen from false air, a stainless steel
with high chromium content should be selected. High
temperature series stainless steel such as AISI 310 or
AISI 330 might be necessary for the internal parts. The
external parts are subjected to lower temperatures and
AISI 316 steel is suitable, lowering the total structure
cost. Additionally, all heat exchanger options should
consider insulating the external surfaces of the heat
exchanger body.
Numerical simulations have demonstrated the
effects of alumina heating chamber cross sectional area
variation. If the alumina chamber cross sectional area
increases, the alumina flow velocity decreases,
increasing its residence time. This may increase the
final alumina temperature. However, heat diffusion
through alumina is slower through a thicker alumina
stream, obtained by a greater cross sectional area. The
final combined effect is near zero as they cancel each
other.
According to the abovementioned numerical
simulation results, the feeder height is one of the most
important design parameters in order to optimize heat
transfer and to maximize the final alumina temperature.
It is expected to obtain a progressive increase of the
alumina final temperature with the exchanger height
increase. The challenge is to implement the highest
possible heat exchanger device in the cell
superstructure downstream to the alumina hopper.
