Provided are an aluminum electrolytic
graphite crucible experimental device and experimental method. The device comprises a computer and a
heating furnace; a bottom furnace door of the
heating furnace is installed at the top end of a lifting mechanism; two
silicon carbide rod sets are arranged in the
heating furnace, when the device is used, a
graphite crucible is located in the heating furnace, an
anode conductive rod and a
cathode conductive rod are installed, the
cathode conductive rod is connected with the
graphite crucible, and a
graphite anode is installed on the
anode conductive rod and located in the
graphite crucible. An aluminum
ingot is put into the
graphite crucible, heating is conducted, after the aluminum
ingot and an
electrolyte are completely melted, the
furnace temperature is kept constant, the heights of melting aluminum and the
electrolyte are measured, and data of electric currents changing along with changes of the distance between the
anode conductive rod and the bottom face of the
graphite crucible are recorded; changes of the electric currents and voltages are observed when an
anode effect occurs. The experimental device can simulate an electrochemical reaction in an industrial
field device, a good teaching effect is achieved through an early theoretical calculation and arrangement and late experimental phenomenon observation, and meanwhile experimental data can provide guidance and reference data for a production field.
