Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical field of electrolysis in molten salts for making aluminium using the Hall-Heroult process. More precisely, the invention relates to an improved, reinforced potshell design. This is achieved in particular by redesigning the bottom cradles of the potshell.
  • the Hall-Heroult process is the only continuous industrial process for producing metallic aluminium from aluminium oxide.
  • Aluminium oxide Al 2 0 3
  • molten cryolite Na 3 AIF 6
  • the resulting mixture typically at a temperature comprised between 940 °C and 970 °C acts as a liquid electrolyte in an electrolytic cell.
  • An electrolytic cell used for the Hall-Heroult process typically comprises a steel shell (so-called “pot shell”), a lining (comprising refractory bricks protecting said steel shell against heat, and cathode blocks usually made from graphite, anthracite or a mixture of both), a superstructure and a plurality of anodes (usually made from carbon) wherein part of anodes is submerged into the liquid electrolyte.
  • Anodes and cathodes are connected to external aluminium busbars.
  • An electrical current is passed through the cell (typically at a voltage between 3.7 V and 5 V) which electrochemically reduces the aluminium oxide, split in the electrolyte into aluminium and oxygen ions, into aluminium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode; said oxygen reacting with the carbon of the anode to form carbon dioxide .
  • the resulting metallic aluminium is not miscible with the liquid electrolyte, has a higher density than the liquid electrolyte and will thus accumulate as a liquid metal pad on the cathode surface from where it needs to be tapped from time to time, usually by suction into a crucible.
  • Industrial electrolytic cells used for the Hall-Heroult process are generally rectangular in shape and connected electrically in series, the ends of the series being connected to the positive and negative poles of an electrical rectification and control substation.
  • the general outline of these cells is known to a person skilled in the art and will not be repeated here in detail. They have a length usually comprised between 8 and 25 meters and a width usually comprised between 3 and 5 meters.
  • the cells also called“pots” are always operated in series of several tens (up to more than four hundred) of pots (such a series being also called a“potline”); within each series DC currents flow from one cell to the neighbouring cell.
  • the cells are arranged in a building, with the cells arranged in rows either side-by-side, that is to say that the long side of each cell is perpendicular to the axis of the series, or end-to-end, that is to say that the long side of each cell is parallel to the axis of the series. It is customary to designate the sides for side- by-side cells (or ends for end-to end cells) of the cells by the terms“upstream” and “downstream” with reference to the current orientation in the series. The current enters the upstream and exits downstream of the cell.
  • the production of aluminium in an electrolytic cell is proportional to the current supplied to the cell.
  • the electrical currents in most modern electrolytic cells using the Hall-Heroult process exceed 200 kA and can reach 400 kA, 450 kA or even more; in these potlines the pots are arranged side by side.
  • Most newly installed pots operate at a current comprised between about 350 kA and 600 kA, and more often in the order of 400 kA to 500 kA.
  • the present invention is more particularly related to the potshell of such electrolysis cells.
  • Potshells are usually made of low carbon structural steel. Their interior cavity is defined by sheet steel and has a cuboid shape, the potshell bottom being horizontal and the potshell sidewalls being arranged so as to lie approximately vertically.
  • the sheeting is stiffened by means of an external carrying structure.
  • the external carrying structure includes an upper rim (also called“deckplate”) that forms the circumference of the rectangular structures, and lateral structural elements (so-called“cradles”) arranged at a right angle with respect to the direction of the sidewall, at a regular spacing.
  • the interior cavity contains the lining, i.e. , refractory bricks to protect the sheeting, and the cathodes and the side lining intended to be in contact with the liquid electrolyte and liquid metal (in operation, the side lining is protected from the liquid electrolyte by a layer of frozen electrolyte).
  • Potshells represent a significant cost. Their lifetime is limited by deformation: potshells exhibit under conditions of normal use permanent thermal gradients. Furthermore, they support a permanent load at elevated temperature. As a consequence, potshells are subject to creep. Also, transient abnormally high temperatures of the potshell (for example during start-up and during so-called prolonged anode effects or when the pot is“sick”) may lead to transient deformation of the steel potshell due to thermal expansion and softening; overheating can also lead to permanent deformation of the potshell.
  • cathode blocks will undergo irreversible dimensional changes due to the combined action of temperature, chemical environment and abrasion due to movement of the liquid metal sheet induced by electromagnetic fields.
  • sodium swelling of carbon (anthracite) blocks is known to generate permanent stress upon potshell walls and bottom, which will tend to be released by creep of the potshell.
  • the potshell tends to“open”, that is to say permanently deformed; the deformation is quite significant in the longitudinal, in the transverse as well as in the vertical directions.
  • the forces acting on the end walls of the potshell tend to increase, too due to accumulation of the expansion of the individual cathode blocks towards the end walls.
  • These forces need to be taken into account when designing very long electrolytic cells.
  • Graphite incorporates sodium less readily than carbon, but even for modern graphitized cathode blocks sodium swelling remains a problem that needs to be taken into account when designing potshells.
  • One of the goals of the present invention is to provide a new potshell design that decreases the deformation of the potshell under mechanical stress.
  • US 2,861 ,036 (Pechiney), US 4 322 282 (Swiss Aluminium Ltd), and US 4,421 ,625 (Swiss Aluminium Ltd) are representative for a potshell design that needs to withstand enormous swelling forces; the first patent uses springs to exert a counterforce against opening forces, in second and third the potshell is stiffened by a set of horizontal expansion rails, with additional springs in the third one.
  • US 3,702,815 uses horizontal rails only for the short sides of the potshell.
  • WO 2011/028132 (Norsk Hydro) discloses a potshell with vertical stiffeners and horizontal webs on its outside, said web having openings for efficient air cooling.
  • WO 2016/077932 presents a potshell design wherein the sidewalls are stiffened using vertical structural elements with free upper ends acting as cantilever springs that can be loaded and adjusted using wedges. This is intended to provide a lighter potshell structure that provides a mechanical resistance comparable to that of conventional potshells. However, these wedges need to be adjusted manually throughout the life of the potshell, using a hammer, a portable hydraulic jack or a wrench.
  • the present invention aims at providing an improved potshell design that meets at least several of these goals.
  • the problem is solved by providing a potshell for an electrolytic cell suitable for the Hall-Heroult electrolysis process with a novel cradle, said potshell being intended to receive a cathode forming the bottom of said electrolytic cell and comprising a plurality of parallel cathode blocks, each cathode block comprising at least one metallic cathode collector bar protruding out of each of the two ends of the cathode block, a lateral lining defining together with the cathode a volume containing the liquid electrolyte and the liquid metal resulting from the Hall-Heroult electrolysis process, said potshell comprising a bottom wall and peripheral walls extending upwards from said bottom wall, so as to define an inner reception volume, said peripheral walls comprising side walls and end walls, said novel cradle comprising a bottom part, or beam, intended to extend parallel to the bottom wall of potshell, in particular in a horizontal way, as well as two lateral parts, or poles, each of which being intended to extend parallel to

Potshell 40 differs from that 30 of prior art, in particular in that it is equipped with cradles 47, one of which will be explained in greater detail hereafter. Said cradles extend the one beside the other, each being adjacent bottom 45 and side walls 41 , 42 of the shoebox. On figure 4, the three end cradles 47a, 47b and 47c are illustrated.
  • each cradle 47 comprises first a central part 48, also called beam, which is an essential feature of the invention. It also comprises two lateral parts 49 and 49’, also called poles, which do not belong to the invention. In this respect, said lateral poles may be of any appropriate type, known as such.
  • Central part 48 extends parallel to the bottom wall 45 of potshell, in particular in a horizontal way, whereas lateral parts 49, 49’ extend parallel to said side walls 41 , 42, in particular in a vertical way.
  • the beams 48a, 48b and 48c of the three end cradles 47a, 47b and 47c are illustrated, as well as the right poles 49a, 49b and 49c thereof, whereas left part of said figure 4 shows the left pole of very end cradle 47a.
  • the present invention is directed to central beam 48, in particular to the specific geometry thereof.
  • said beam essentially comprises a reinforcing median region 50, two end regions 60 and 70, as well as transition regions 80 and 90, each extending between median region and a respective end region.
  • A48 the main axis of beam 48, which is typically horizontal. Upper walls 51 to 91 are mutually flush and parallel to said axis A48.
  • Lower walls 62 and 72 of end regions are mutually flush and parallel to said axis A48.
  • Lower wall 52 is also parallel to A48, while its altitude is inferior to that of 61 and 71.
  • height H50 of median region is superior to respective height H60 and H70 of end regions.
  • Advantageously ratio ( H50/H60 ), which is equal to ( H50IH70 ), is superior to and typically between 1.1 and 3..
  • lower walls 82 and 92 of transition regions are preferably sloped with respect to main axis A48.
  • angles a82 and a92, between said walls 82 and 92 and said axis are mutually equal and between 20 and 90.
  • Cradle 47 is attached to the shoebox by any appropriate means, in particular by welding.
  • a bottom beam provided with a median thick region and two thinner end regions is advantageous. Indeed, during operation, the center of the potshell bottom 35 tends to bend upwards due to temperature gradient mostly in side walls and forces from lining expansion acting to side walls. This is shown on figure 7 showing prior art potshell 30, by arrow F35. When the potshell bottom bends upwards this will transfer force to the cathode block 8 through the bottom lining, so that the latter is also pushed up. However collector bars 9, which are locked inside lining and collector bar windows, exert a resistance strength which tends to block said bending phenomenon. This is also shown on figure 7, by arrow F9.
  • the bottom cradle height is increased only in its mid region, i.e. at area free out cell support where it is most important. It should be noted that reduction of height close to extremities, i.e. in end regions, does not impact the stress level in cathode blocks (or, in other words: adding thickness (height) to the bottom cradle close to its extremities will not add much strength to the potshell bottom) 82.
  • ratio ( L60/L48 ) or ( L70/L48 ) between length (L60) or (L70) of each end region 60 or 70 and total length ( L48 ) of said beam is between 0.05 and 0.3.
  • beam 48 may not include any transition region.
  • median region 50 joins each end region 60 and 70, via vertical shoulders 55 and 55’.
  • providing a sloped transition region is advantageous, because the edge between the vertical shoulders 55 and the horizontal end region 60 may become a weak point of the structure..
  • the whole beam 48 is symmetric with respect to vertical axis T48, which is perpendicular to main axis A48.
  • lengths L60 and L70 are equal, as well as lengths L80 and L90.
  • Reinforced bottom beams according to the invention can be used for all bottom cradles of a potshell; this is a preferred embodiment. More generally, at least one of the bottom cradles is a bottom cradle with a reinforced bottom beam according to the invention. In cells having an underneath busbar it may not be possible to use bottom cradles with a reinforced bottom beam according to the invention without increasing the height of the potroom.
