Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to control the low temperature. If the temperature is too low, there are many sudden effects, and the electrolyte is not easy to maintain, resulting in problems such as too thick sides, too large legs, extremely long corners and increased precipitation, resulting in unstable operation of the electrolytic cell and current Reduced efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a low temperature control method for aluminum electrolysis. 1) The electrolysis temperature during electrolysis is 930-936°C, the lithium carbonate content in the electrolyte is 2.8-3.0% of the mass fraction of the electrolyte, the molecular ratio of sodium fluoride to aluminum fluoride in the electrolyte is 2.3-2.5; the aluminum level is not low 2) Compulsory thermal insulation measures for the electrolytic cell: the bottom of the cell and the small window are sealed with aluminum silicate fiber blanket thermal insulation material. In the case of not changing the equipment and facilities in the production of aluminum electrolysis, by adjusting the electrolysis process, regularizing the furnace, realizing fine operation, improving the stability of the electrolytic cell, strengthening heat preservation, reducing heat loss, lowering the electrolysis temperature, and improving the current efficiency, the electrolytic cell The service life has been extended, and the effect of energy saving and emission reduction is remarkable, which provides a guarantee for the realization of safety, high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection in electrolytic production.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis, and is a low temperature control method for aluminum electrolysis. Background technique [0002] As a high energy consumption industry, energy saving and consumption reduction have become the survival way of the current aluminum industry. Theoretically, without changing the equipment and facilities in aluminum electrolysis production, the current efficiency will increase by 1% for every 10°C decrease in temperature. Therefore, it is of important and far-reaching significance to explore low temperature control technology, improve current efficiency, and reduce electricity consumption per ton of aluminum. However, it is difficult to control low temperature. If the temperature is too low, there are many sudden effects, and the electrolyte is not easy to maintain. It will cause problems such as too thick furnace wing, too large legs, corners easy to be long, and increased precipitation. Th...
