The invention relates to the aluminum
electrolytic cell technical field, in particular relating to a protective
cell-shutting method of an aluminum
electrolytic cell. The method aims to solve the problems of
cracking, deformation and doming up, etc. caused by an inner lining directly exposed in the air during the prior
cell shutting, and comprises the following steps that: (1) part aluminum liquid inside an
electrolytic cell is pumped out at first; (2) then, part
electrolyte liquid inside the electrolytic
cell is taken out; (3) an
anode is put into the aluminum liquid and is raised after all aluminum liquid is pumped out, and thermocouples are distributed inside the electrolytic cell; (4) the surface of the
anode is provided with an
alumina heat-preservation material, and a feeding port and an aluminum outlet are sealed closely; moreover, a cell cover plate is covered; (5) a purifying
smoke evacuation
pipe is closed, and rockwool is used to
cork up a side heat dissipation hole of a basin and to carry out bottom heat preservation; a factory building, a trench window and an air grid section are closed, and a window inside a closed workshop is closed; and (6) when temperature inside the electrolytic cell is lowered to normal temperature, cell shutting is completed. The protective cell-shutting method ensures reasonable gradient lowering of the temperature of an electrolytic cell inner lining, and reduces inner lining damage caused during cell shutting; meanwhile, the method has better
anodic protection, strong commonality, simple operation and outstanding effects, and can continue to be used.
