Problems solved by technology

[0004] Cermets take into account the advantages of strong corrosion resistance of metal oxide ceramics and good electrical conductivity of metals, but there are still problems such as poor thermal shock resistance, poor electrical conductivity, difficulty in connecting with metal guide rods, and difficulty in large-scale; in addition, the electrolysis process In the process, the oxidation and selective dissolution of the outer metal phase of the cermet will not only reduce the purity of the primary aluminum, but also cause the structure and performance of the inert anode to decay, thus causing the material to fail during service.

Abstract

The invention relates to a raw material component of cermet inert anode having metallographic phase distributed in gradient from internal side to external side and preparation technology. The material is applied to extracting non-ferrous metal (Al, rare earths and metals with high-melting point) by fused salt electrolytic route. The component comprises the cermet formed by at least one Ca-Fe-Ni-O composite spinel oxide and at least one metallographic phase; wherein the anode material is composed of raw material with following mass prescription: 1% to 5% single metal or alloy, 1% to 99% spinel oxide, 0.1% to 10% other metal oxides; oxidizing the materials selectively in process of sintering the materials by adjusting oxygen content in whole atmosphere to form high strength, high tenacity, high conductivity inner layer (high content of metal) having anticorrosion outer layer (high content of oxides) functional gradient structure. The method of the invention is capable of effectively solving problems that the cermet inert anode is connected with the metal guide and the metallographic phase is dissolved and oxidized selectively in electrolytic process.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a molten salt electrolysis extraction electrode for non-ferrous metals (Al, rare earth, high melting point metals, etc.), in particular to a cermet inert anode material for molten salt electrolysis and a preparation method thereof. technical background [0002] The current molten salt electrolysis process using carbon anodes has high energy consumption, large carbon consumption, and serious environmental pollution (emissions a large amount of greenhouse gas CO 2 And fluorocarbon CF n Etc.), large investment, high cost, low efficiency, unstable production and other issues. Inert anodes are non-consumable anodes. The new electrolysis process that uses inert anodes does not require carbon anodes or carbon anode factories; do not periodically replace anodes during production, so production is stable; anodes discharge oxygen. No CO emissions 2 With fluorocarbons, the environment is greatly improved; the current electrolytic cell structur...
