Problems solved by technology

[0002] The existing aluminum smelting method is still the cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis method; the main equipment for aluminum smelting is the electrolytic cell, and the process itself still has many shortcomings: the energy utilization rate is quite low, less than 50%; the cathode It is consumable, and the production of each ton of aluminum needs to consume 450-500kg of carbon anode; the carbon side wall is easily corroded, and the service life of the electrolytic cell is short; because its electrodes are arranged horizontally, only one reaction surface produces aluminum, resulting in electrolysis The production efficiency of the tank is very low, and at the same time, a large amount of CO is emitted into the environment 2 , CO and asphalt fume and other harmful gases
Most of the existing inert anodes are based on nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 o 4 ) cermet material, which is still corroded by the electrolyte during use, so that the iron in the anode dissolves into the electrolyte, and the iron is precipitated at the cathode, which affects the purity of aluminum
Therefore, this material has been limited in industrial production
