Problems solved by technology

[0009] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the alloy anode composed of metal components in the prior art has high overvoltage, the power consumption of the electrolytic aluminum process is large, and the metal components used are expensive, resulting in the failure of the alloy anode. Increased cost; in addition, in the prior art, the oxidation resistance of the oxide film on the surface of the alloy anode is low and easy to fall off, resulting in the alloy anode being continuously consumed and poor in corrosion resistance, and the corrosion or peeling of the oxide film into the liquid aluminum reduces the The purity of the final product aluminum; and then propose an electrolytic cell for electrolytic aluminum with low overvoltage and low price of the inert anode material used, and the oxide film formed on the surface has strong oxidation resistance, strong stability and resistance to electrolyte corrosion

Abstract

An electrolysis tank used for aluminum electrolysis, comprising a tank body, an anode and a cathode arranged within the tank body, also an electrolyte accommodated within the tank body, where at least a part of the anode is submerged in the electrolyte. The anode is arranged above the tank body. The cathode is arranged at the tank bottom and is covered by a certain amount of liquid aluminum. The electrolyte is provided between the anode and the cathode. The electrolyte covers the liquid aluminum. The tank body has arranged on an inner sidewall thereof an insulation layer for use in separating oxygen or the electrolyte from a carbon block. The tank is characterized in that: the constituents of the anode comprise Fe, Cu, Ni, and Sn, where Fe and Cu are the main constituents; the electrolyte consists of 30 to 38 wt% of NaF, 49 to 60 wt% of AlF3, 1 to 5 wt% of LiF, 1 to 6 wt% of KF, and 3 to 6 wt% of Al2O3, where the molar ratio of NaF to AlF3 is between 1.0 and 1.52.
