Problems solved by technology

[0002] There are three-layer liquid electrolysis and segregation methods for producing high-purity aluminum in foreign countries; the only domestic method for producing high-purity aluminum is three-layer liquid electrolysis. Aluminum layer, the middle layer is molten salt of fluoride and chloride, and the anode is an aluminum-copper (40%) alloy layer in the lower part of the electrolytic cell. The three-layer liquid electrolysis method uses metal aluminum as raw material, which is produced by secondary electrolysis with high purity. High-energy aluminum consumes a lot of electricity. The power consumption per ton of aluminum is about 16,000 degrees, and the cost is high. The segregation method also uses metal aluminum as a raw material, and uses the different solubility of impurity elements in solid aluminum and liquid aluminum to produce segregation when the aluminum melt condenses. To obtain high-purity aluminum, the power consumption is small, and the power consumption per ton of aluminum is about 600 degrees, but the raw material consumption is high, so that 30% of the aluminum will become aluminum with high impurity content.

Embodiment

[0016] As shown in Figure 2, the present invention is a method for producing high-purity aluminum by cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis, which is characterized in that the high-purity aluminum produced by the aluminum electrolytic cell is used from a special aluminum outlet ladle Absorbed in the aluminum electrolytic tank, and then poured into a special smelting furnace for ingot casting, the specific method is as follows:

[0017] (1) In an electrolytic flue gas purification system, select 25% of the aluminum electrolytic cells in the system as the aluminum electrolytic cells for producing high-purity aluminum, because too many selections of the electrolytic cells will affect the purification effect of the flue gas;

[0018] (2) The electrolytic cell evaporates impurity elements during the electrolysis process, and enters the flue gas purification system with the electrolytic flue gas; the purified and recovered fluorine-loaded alumina containing impurities cannot enter...
