Problems solved by technology

[0009] Titanium boride has good wettability to molten aluminum and is resistant to cryolite corrosion. However, the existing industrial production methods of titanium boride have harsh reaction conditions and low reaction yield (less than 90%). Comprehensive preparation Disadvantages of high cost
Due to the high price of titanium boride, it is difficult to realize the wide application of titanium boride in the preparation process of inert anode materials and inert cathode materials

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation process for an inert anode material or an inert cathode coating material for aluminum electrolysis. The preparation process comprises the following steps of: (A) feeding aluminum into a reactor, vacuumizing and introducing an inert gas, adding a mixture of dried fluoborate and fluotitanate in the reactor and reacting to generate titanium boride and cryolite and separating to obtain the titanium boride; and (B) fusing the titanium boride with a titanium boride, tamping the mixture to the surface of a carbon cathode and sintering to form the inert cathode coating material for aluminum electrolysis; or uniformly mixing the obtained titanium boride with a carbon material, forming at high pressure and sintering at high temperature to form the inert anode material for aluminum electrolysis. The preparation process disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simplicity, no need of harsh reaction conditions and high yield of reaction product; the preparation process is used for preparing the inert anode material or inert cathode coating material for aluminum electrolysis; and the inert anode material or inert cathode coating material has favorable corrosion resistant performance, excellent conducting performance and thermal shock resisting performance; and the firmness of the inert anode material or inert cathode coating material meets the industrial service requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation process of an inert anode material or an inert cathode coating material for aluminum electrolysis. Background technique [0002] At present, the aluminum electrolysis industry still adopts the traditional Hall-Heroult method. The electrolyte has always been based on cryolite-alumina. The current prebaked anode electrolytic cells mainly use carbon anodes and carbon cathodes. The precipitated oxygen is continuously consumed, transformed into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and discharged into the atmosphere. The carbon cathode is not wet to the aluminum liquid, and will be corroded by cryolite for a long time. In order to prolong the service life of the electrolyzer, reduce the carbon emissions to the atmosphere, reduce the electrolysis temperature, and improve the electrolysis efficiency, it is often necessary to prepare cheap and large-scale industrially produced inert anode materials or prepare carbon cathode...
