Embodiment 1

[0030] The furnace is laid with 16 sets of internal heating resistors, and the direct current is passed through. The furnace is filled with solid electrolyte and heated for about 14 hours. The temperature of the electrolyte in the furnace is 700°C. Continuously add solid electrolyte until the electrolyte level is 32 cm. Then, reduce the power of the internal heating resistor to simulate the heat generation of the electrolytic cell during normal operation. At the same time, add fluoride salt and adjust the electrolyte composition. After 48 hours, the energy balance was established, and the side thickness was 8 cm. After the energy balance is stable, each time a group of internal heating resistors is disconnected, a group of inert anodes and cathodes (vertical electrolyzers) are replaced until the replacement is completed. After the electrode is fully preheated, the electrolyzer is powered on and started smoothly, and the normal operating voltage is 3.66V.

Embodiment 2

[0032] The furnace is laid with 16 sets of internal heating resistors, and the alternating current is passed through. The furnace is filled with solid electrolyte, and the temperature is raised according to the heating system. The final temperature of the electrolyte in the furnace is 750°C. Continuously add solid electrolyte until the electrolyte level is 32 cm. Then, reduce the power of the internal heating resistor to simulate the heat generation of the electrolytic cell during normal operation. At the same time, add fluoride salt and adjust the electrolyte composition. After 48 hours, the energy balance was established, and the side thickness was 7.8 cm. After the energy balance is stable, each time a group of internal heating resistors is disconnected, a group of inert anodes and cathodes (vertical electrolyzers) are replaced until the replacement is completed. After the electrode is fully preheated, the electrolyzer is powered on and started smoothly, and the normal op...

Embodiment 3

[0034] The furnace is laid with 16 sets of internal heating resistors, and the alternating current is passed through. The furnace is filled with solid electrolyte, and the temperature in the furnace reaches 650°C. Pour molten liquid electrolyte until the electrolyte level is 32 cm. Continue heating until the electrolyte temperature is 750°C. Then, reduce the power of the internal heating resistor to simulate the heat generation of the electrolytic cell during normal operation. At the same time, add fluoride salt and adjust the electrolyte composition. After 48 hours, the energy balance is established, and the thickness of the thinnest part of the furnace side is 6.2cm. After the energy balance is stable, each time a group of internal heating resistors is disconnected, a group of inert anodes (upper and lower structure electrolyzers) is replaced until the replacement is completed. After the electrode is fully preheated, the electrolyzer is powered on and started smoothly, an...

Abstract

The invention relates to a preheating starting method for an inertia anode aluminum electrolyzer, which is characterized in that the preheating starting process orderly comprises the steps of: (1) laying a set of electrical heaters which has same number of electrodes on a hearth, (2) filling up solid electrolyte in the hearth, electrically heating till the solid electrolyte fused, and continuously adding solid electrolyte till the electrolyte level meets the production requirement, (3) lowering the power of the electrical heater after the electrolyte level meets the production requirement, and simulating the heat value of normal running electrolyzer, and (4) supplying fluorine salt, adjusting the component of electrolyte, establishing energy balance and thickness of furnace stack, exchanging a set of inertia anode and cathode when switching off a set of inner heating resistance after reaching energy balance, electrifying on full load after finishing exchange. The method of the invention can preheat inertia anode electrolyzer, provide a nice running condition to the inertia anode in order to promote the use effect and prolong the service life of the inertia anode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preheating starting method suitable for an inert anode electrolyzer. Background technique [0002] Since the advent of Hall-Heroult's cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis method, roasting start-up has always been a very important process that large-scale aluminum electrolytic cells or industrial aluminum electrolytic cells must go through before normal operation. The quality of the roasting start-up of the electrolytic cell will directly affect the stable production of the electrolytic cell in the later stage of start-up, as well as various economic and technical indicators and the life of the cell. [0003] Roasting start is very important to aluminum electrolytic cells, and the method used for roasting start is even more critical. For large-scale prebaked anode aluminum electrolytic cells with upper and lower structures (anode on the top and cathode on the bottom), the commonly used roasting methods are: coke grain ro...
