Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the prebaked anode aluminum electrolysis technology has achieved good indicators, it has its own inherent defects: for example, the consumable carbon anode needs to be replaced regularly, which not only brings a large workload to the operation, but also brings a negative impact on carbon resources. a lot of pressure; the production process of primary aluminum electrolysis and anode roasting emits a lot of CO 2 , producing more than 1.8 tons of CO for every ton of aluminum produced 2 , and at the same time due to the strong greenhouse gas produced by the anode effect, the actual ton of aluminum is directly equivalent to CO 2 emissions of more than 2.5 tons
Although the material is mainly sintered plate-shaped corundum with high purity, and no silica powder is added, there is no description of the overall purity, nor its corrosion resistance, and more aluminate cement is used in its formula ( 5~10%), not only will introduce more impurities, but also will make the mid-temperature strength drop more

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unshaped refractory and corrosion-resistant material for an inert anode aluminum electrolytic cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the advent of Hall-Heroult's cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis method, this method has been the mainstream method for producing primary aluminum in industry. The principle is that in the electrolytic cell, the cryolite-alumina molten salt is used as the electrolyte, and the alumina in the molten salt is decomposed by direct current. Aluminum water is precipitated at the cathode, and gas is precipitated at the anode. The density of aluminum water is higher than that of the electrolyte, and the aluminum water gathers at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. When there is a certain amount, the aluminum water is taken out and poured into aluminum ingots. The anode gas overflows, and is emptied or collected after purification and dust removal. [0003]...
