Problems solved by technology

However, in the direct carbothermal reduction reaction of alumina, if no protective gas is added to control the reduction, the metal aluminum produced and the produced aluminum carbide, aluminum oxycarbide and other substances are mixed together and difficult to separate, which has always restricted the promotion of this method.

Abstract

The invention provides a method of preparing metallic aluminum through carbon thermal reduction, and belongs to the technical field of metal material preparation. According to the method, alumina andcarbon are subjected to carbon thermal reduction at the temperature of 1550-1650 DEG C; by controlling the separation of protective airflow and a reaction bin from a collection bin, generated gaseousaluminum is controlled to be nucleated and concentrated in the collection bin to form molten aluminum; the oxidization problem caused by the high dispersity of condensate generated in the condensationprocess of the gaseous aluminum under the control of no protective airflow is avoided; the generation of low-valent alumina gas in the carbon thermal reduction process can be inhibited, thus, the disproportionation reaction in the condensation process of the low-valent alumina gas is effectively avoided, and the disadvantage of generating aluminum carbide and alumina carbide by the low-valent alumina gas and carbon monoxide gas is effectively avoided; and the direct yield and purity of metallic aluminum are further improved. The experimental results show that the method provided by the invention is simple, the energy consumption is low, the direct yield of aluminum is high, and the produced metal aluminum has high purity.
