Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating iron element impurities from secondary aluminum melt through pulse current, and belongs to the technical field of secondary aluminum melt purification.The method comprises the following steps that the secondary aluminum alloy melt with the iron element content exceeding the standard is placed in a crucible, two electrodes and a pulse power supply are connected and inserted into the aluminum melt in parallel, pulse current is continuously applied until corresponding time, and corresponding pulse parameters are selected according to the volume andthe temperature of the melt, wherein the pulse current treatment parameter range comprises the parameters that the frequency is 20 - 50kHz, the voltage is 1 - 100V, the current density is 0.1 - 700A / cm<2>, and the action time is 1 - 10h. According to the method, an Al element and a Fe element in the melt are subjected to electromigration in different directions under the action of the pulse current, so that the Al element and the Fe element are enriched at the positive electrode and the negative electrode respectively, and the purpose of purifying the aluminum melt is achieved; according tothe method for separating the iron element impurities from the secondary aluminum melt through the pulse current, the aluminum melt can be subjected to pulse current treatment under the condition thatno neutralizing element is added to pollute the melt, the iron impurity elements in the aluminum melt are separated, and the melt is purified; and the method is easy to operate, efficient and free ofpollution, the iron removal efficiency is greatly improved, and the requirement of current industrial green development planning is met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of purification of recycled aluminum melts, and in particular relates to a method for realizing the separation of Al-Fe in aluminum melts by pulse current, thereby removing iron impurity elements in recycled aluminum melts. Background technique [0002] Aluminum alloy has been widely used in automobile, aviation, electronics, construction and other fields due to its excellent performance. Moreover, aluminum and its aluminum alloys are highly recyclable and are the metal materials with the most recycling value. The recycling of aluminum and its alloys has significant environmental and economic benefits. Compared with the production of primary aluminum, the comprehensive energy consumption of producing secondary aluminum is only 5% of that of electrolytic aluminum, but CO 2 emissions can be reduced by more than 90%. Therefore, while rationally developing and utilizing energy and bauxite resources, attention ...
