Abstract

The invention relates to a bipolar electrode plate for preparing metal aluminum by aluminum chloride electrolysis and a using method of the bipolar electrode plate, and belongs to the technical fieldof electrolytic aluminum. The bipolar electrode plate for preparing metal aluminum by aluminum chloride electrolysis comprises a bipolar electrode plate base block and an insulating block. The bipolarelectrode plate base block is divided into a cathode end and an anode end. In the bipolar electrode plate base block, the remaining periphery is provided with insulating blocks correspondingly exceptthe end surface of the cathode end and the end surface of the anode end. The width of the insulating block needs to comply with the following relation: (Rho<C>*h+2.15 / D*S)<<Rho<L>*(b+h). According tothe bipolar electrode plate, the insulating block is connected to the bipolar electrode plate base block, and the width of the insulating block is defined, so that when the bipolar electrode plate for preparing the metal aluminum by aluminum chloride electrolysis, bypass current can be effectively reduced, current efficiency is improved, and the electrolytic energy consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic aluminum, in particular to a bipolar electrode plate for preparing metallic aluminum by electrolysis of aluminum chloride and a use method thereof. Background technique [0002] Traditional aluminum smelting is produced by cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis, the electrolysis temperature is in the range of 930-1000°C, and the raw material is alumina. In this method, the unit power consumption rate is 13-15kW·h / kgAl, and the industrial carbon anode participates in the anode reaction, which will be continuously consumed during electrolysis. Therefore, this method not only consumes a lot of power, but also needs to replace the anode every once in a while. , which also increases the labor intensity of workers; in addition, during normal electrolysis, the CO produced by the anode 2 And when the anode effect occurs, the anode generates CF 4 and C 2 f 6 Fluorocarbons are all greenhouse gas...
