Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of new carbon anode materials in the electrolytic aluminum industry, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a graphene composite protective layer for a prebaked carbon anode. Background technique [0002] The anode is the heart of aluminum electrolysis production. The aluminum electrolysis cell continues to grow in size and in the process of intelligent development, and the requirements for anode quality are getting higher and higher. The high-quality anode carbon block has higher strength, lower resistivity, Lower CO 2 Reaction coefficient with air, lower ash content. The quality of the anode carbon block is directly affected by the baking quality.

Problems solved by technology

However, both methods have relatively large defects. When using the alumina-based anti-oxidation protective layer method, the alumina protective layer participates in the electrode reaction, consumes part of the carbon block, and reduces the service life of the carbon block. In addition, the aluminum-based protective layer and carbon The outer layer of the matrix belongs to two materials with different properties, and the thermal expansion effect is quite different. At the same time, the adhesion between the aluminum-based protective layer and the surface of the carbon substrate is low, which makes the protective layer easy to fall off from the surface of the carbon block.

Unlike the aluminum-based protective layer, the auxiliary method does not have the problem of interface shedding, but the additive method has a large amount of addition, and introduces impurity metals, and the effect of improving the gas reactivity of the carbon block is limited.
