Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering carbon from aluminum electrolysis waste cathodes by ultrasonic-assisted pressurized acid leaching, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis solid waste recovery. Background technique [0002] Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the earth's crust, and it is also an important basic raw material that plays a supporting role in the national economy. At present, primary aluminum production mainly adopts the Hall-Elu electrolysis process. In the production process, the new electrolytic cell needs to be shut down for overhaul after 3 to 6 years of use. The waste cathode carbon block produced is the most important solid waste in the aluminum electrolysis production process. . Studies have shown that about 10kg of waste cathode materials will be produced for every ton of primary aluminum produced by electrolysis. In 2015, China's waste cathode emissions exceeded 300,000 tons. [0...
