Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolysis, and in particular to a high-performance metal-ceramic inert anode composite material for aluminum electrolysis and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum electrolysis is a key area of ​​focus for the country's dual carbon goals and a key industry for emission reduction. Currently, the industrial production of aluminum primarily utilizes the cryolite-alumina molten electrolysis method (Hall-Heroult molten salt electrolysis method). This process uses carbon materials as anodes. Al2O3 in a high-temperature molten electrolyte decomposes under the action of an electric field, producing oxygen ions that combine with carbon, consuming the carbon anode and releasing CO2 gas. Inert anodes, on the other hand, do not react with oxygen anions during the reaction, producing no CO2 and instead generating O2 for recycling. Research and application of aluminum electrolysis technology using inert anode materials is extremely important and is of great significance for the aluminum industry in achieving energy conservation, environmental protection, emission reduction, and efficiency improvements.

[0003] Currently, inert anodes are primarily classified into three categories: alloy systems, oxide-ceramic systems, and cermet systems. While alloy systems offer high electrical conductivity, they suffer from poor corrosion resistance and cannot sustain long-term electrolysis in high-temperature molten salt systems. Oxide-ceramic systems, while offering strong corrosion resistance, suffer from poor electrical conductivity, making them unsuitable for industrial production. Cermet systems, on the other hand, are composite materials of metal and ceramic, combining the high electrical conductivity of metals with the strong corrosion resistance of ceramics, while also exhibiting excellent thermal stability, thermal shock resistance, and processing properties. Among cermet systems, NiFe2O4, due to its inverse spinel structure, possesses excellent mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance, making it widely used as a ceramic substrate for bonding to various metals, as in CN 117403279A and CN 13186569A. However, the current NiFe2O4-based cermet inert anodes suffer from a persistent trade-off between high-temperature conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in electrical conductivity while maintaining a low corrosion rate.

[0004] The inventors have published a patent (CN 113249755 A) disclosing a high-entropy alloy inert anode and its preparation method. This method adds a high-entropy alloy (a high-entropy alloy synthesized from five or more elements of Al, Co, Cr, Fe, Ni, Ti, and Cu) to nickel ferrite. Compared with conventional metal ceramic inert anodes, this inert anode material has stronger corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and conductivity in cryolite molten salt systems, which can improve the service life of the inert anode. The present invention uses a high-entropy alloy containing Al and V and nickel ferrite to improve the compatibility of the high-entropy alloy and nickel ferrite, making the prepared inert anode more conductive at high temperatures.

[0005] A new high entropy alloy AlCrFeNiV is introduced into the NiFe2O4-based metal ceramic inert anode of the present invention. The prepared metal ceramic inert anode has excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance at a high temperature of 960°C. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The experimental methods in the following examples without specific conditions are selected according to conventional methods and conditions, or according to the product instructions.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The preparation method of the metal-ceramic inert anode composite material for aluminum electrolysis of this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] The material for the metal ceramic inert anode consists of a metal phase and a ceramic phase; the raw material powder used for the ceramic phase includes Fe2O3 powder, NiO powder, MnO2 powder, V2O5 powder, and PVA powder. In terms of mass fraction, the mass fraction of Fe2O3 powder is 57.11%, the mass fraction of NiO powder is 41.39%, the mass fraction of MnO2 powder is 1%, and the mass fraction of V2O5 powder is 0.5%. The materials were ball-milled in a ball mill with a ball-to-material ratio of 3:1. Deionized water was used as a dispersant and the materials were ball-milled for 12 hours. After ball milling, the mixed material was placed in a 70°C forced air drying oven for drying for 24 hours. The dried materials were cold-pressed at 600 MPa and held for 10 minutes. The formed raw materials were sintered in a box furnace at a heating rate of 10 m°C / min to 1000°C, held for 6 hours, and naturally cooled in the furnace to obtain 85NiFe2O4-15NiO ceramic matrix materials. The obtained 85NiFe2O4-15NiO ceramic matrix materials were ball-milled using grinding balls with a diameter of 15 mm, and ground through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain 85NiFe2O4-15NiO ceramic matrix powder particles.

[0032] The metal phase is composed of five metal elements, namely Al, Ni, Cr, Fe and V, which are calculated and weighed in an equimolar atomic ratio. The metal is smelted into button ingots in an electric arc furnace, and then the button ingots are ball-milled and crushed by mechanical alloying. Before the ball milling operation, the ball mill jar is evacuated and filled with argon for three times to ensure that the ball milling dry grinding process is in an inert gas protection environment. The ball mill speed is 400r / min, the ball-to-material ratio is 3:1, and the ball milling is carried out for 12 hours. The high entropy alloy granulated powder is sent to the radio frequency plasma spheroidization powder making system for spheroidization treatment to obtain spherical powder, such as Figure 1 .

[0033] In the material used for the metal-ceramic inert anode, the metal phase accounts for 20% by mass, and the rest is the ceramic phase. The ceramic and metal phases are mixed in proportion and 2% by mass of PVA powder is added. The mixture is ball-milled in a ball mill at a speed of 400 r / min. The ball-to-material ratio is 3:1, and the mixture is ball-milled for 12 hours. The mixture is dried in an 80°C forced air drying oven for 24 hours using alcohol as a dispersant. The dried powder block is ball-milled in a vacuum ball mill at a ball-to-material ratio of 3:1 for 4 hours. The mixture is then filtered through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain a high-entropy metal-ceramic composite material that meets the particle size requirements and is uniformly mixed.

[0034] The obtained metal-ceramic composite powder was cold pressed and maintained at 600 MPa for 5 minutes to obtain a secondary green body, which was sintered and kept warm for 6 hours in a tube furnace at 1300°C under a protective atmosphere to obtain a metal-ceramic inert anode composite material doped with high-entropy alloy. The obtained inert anode block material was wire-cut and then polished with 600#, 1000#, and 2000# water-abrasive sandpaper in sequence. The treated sample was cleaned and dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain the final inert anode material to be tested.
