Problems solved by technology

[0016] Although a lot of research has been done on cermet inert anodes and great achievements have been made, they have not been applied industrially. There are two main problems: first, their thermal shock resistance is poor. When the anode is immersed in a high-temperature molten electrolyte at room temperature When it is in the middle, cracks occur on the surface, and even break into small pieces and fall into the molten aluminum at the bottom of the tank, so that the electrolytic production cannot be carried out normally; the second is NiFe 2 o 4 Spinel has low strength and toughness, which makes the anode sample easy to break during handling and connection with the conductive rod

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an anode material resistant to high temperature molten salt corrosion, in particular to an inert anode material for aluminum electrolysis. Background technique [0002] Since its invention in 1886, the Hall-Heroud process has been used to produce almost all commercial aluminum. Although many process parameters have been optimized since the invention of this method, its basic characteristics are still the same, the anodes are all carbon anodes. A large amount of pitch fume is generated during the carbon anode fabrication process. During the electrolysis process, the oxygen precipitated on the anode reacts with the carbon anode to generate a large amount of CO 2 and CO gas, the current prebaked anode aluminum electrolyzer produces 1.54 tons of CO per ton of primary aluminum 2 ; At the same time, the anode carbon will react with the fluorine in the electrolyte to generate CF when the anode effect occurs 4 and C 2 f 6 These g...
