Abstract

Currently, there are two research focuses in aluminum electrolysis industry: process control based on individual anodic current and current modulation. These two novel technologies share the same core mechanisms: precise control of energy balance and heat balance of aluminum electrolysis cells, which is closely linked to the changes in inter-electrode processes when the anodic current changes. In this study, the correlation between inter-electrode characteristics, including characteristics of the aluminum-electrolyte interface and anode-electrolyte interface, and current density as well as anode–cathode distance during aluminum electrolysis were investigated using the scanning reference electrode method and a see-through electrolytic cell. The obtained variation patterns of inter-electrode voltage components may serve as a reference for current balance control and precise thermal balance management in the multi-anode aluminum electrolysis system. The see-through lab-scale electrolytic cell was used to statistically analyze size distribution of gas bubbles released from the bottoms of three types of anodes during aluminum electrolysis process, aiding in understanding the resistance of the gas bubble layer.

铝电解电极间过程研究:洞察电流波动下的电极间现象
目前,铝电解行业有两个研究重点:基于单个阳极电流的过程控制和电流调制。这两种新型技术具有相同的核心机理:精确控制铝电解槽的能量平衡和热量平衡,而能量平衡和热量平衡与阳极电流变化时电极间过程的变化密切相关。本研究采用扫描参比电极法和透视电解槽研究了铝电解过程中电极间特性(包括铝-电解质界面和阳极-电解质界面的特性)与电流密度以及阳极-阴极距离之间的相关性。所获得的电极间电压分量变化规律可作为多阳极铝电解系统中电流平衡控制和精确热平衡管理的参考。透视实验室电解槽用于统计分析铝电解过程中三种阳极底部释放的气泡的大小分布,有助于了解气泡层的阻力。

期刊介绍: Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy is dedicated to presenting metallurgical processes and related research aimed at improving the sustainability of metal-producing industries, with a particular emphasis on materials recovery, reuse, and recycling. Its editorial scope encompasses new techniques, as well as optimization of existing processes, including utilization, treatment, and management of metallurgically generated residues. Articles on non-technical barriers and drivers that can affect sustainability will also be considered.
