Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of non-ferrous metal material, and is especially low temperature aluminum producing process and special aluminum electrolyzing bath. The present invention features the low temperature aluminum electrolyzing process at 700-850 deg.c in molten potassium cryolite salt system with alumina as material. The aluminum electrolyzing bath consists of cathode, wires, anode, electrolytic bath, electrolyte and aluminum liquid collecting tank. The present invention uses molten potassium cryolite salt system as electrolyte with high electric conductivity, great alumina dissolubility and great alumina dissolving rate to overcome the demerits of low temperature aluminum electrolysis. The low temperature aluminum electrolysis creates the condition for using inertial material. The present invention can realize high current efficiency, low power consumption and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of non-ferrous metal materials, and in particular relates to a method for producing aluminum by low-temperature electrolysis and a dedicated aluminum electrolytic cell. Background technique [0002] Aluminum is produced by sodium cryolite-alumina molten salt electrolysis. Aluminum electrolysis production requires a lot of electricity, and electricity consumption accounts for about 30% of the cost of aluminum electrolysis production. The main disadvantages of modern industrial aluminum electrolysis are high electrolysis temperature, as high as 920-950°C, high energy consumption, and DC power consumption is 13500kWh / t aluminum to 15000kWh / t aluminum. Low-temperature aluminum electrolysis is one of the important measures to solve the problems existing in the modern aluminum electrolysis industry. Low-temperature aluminum electrolysis can save electricity. There are many methods for research on low-temperature aluminum e...
