Abstract

The aluminum electrolyzing process with alumina as material to produce aluminum features the electrolyte comprising LiF 2-5 wt%, CaF2 2-5 wt%, Al2O3 1.5-3.0 wt%, and cryolite with NaF/AlF3 molar ratio not higher than 2.3 for the rest. The process has initial crystallizing temperature of the electrolyte not higher than 920 deg.c, superheating degree of 5-12 deg.c, and electrolysis temperature no higher than 935 deg.c. The present invention has no encrusting and melting-off of the electrolytic furnace, high current efficiency, low power consumption and improved economic and technological indexes.

Description

technical field [0001] An aluminum electrolysis method relates to a method for producing aluminum by electrolysis using alumina as a raw material. [0002] Aluminum electrolysis Background technique [0003] In the aluminum electrolysis production process, reducing the electrolysis temperature can reduce heat loss. Experimental studies have shown that reducing the electrolysis temperature by 10°C can increase the current efficiency by about 1% and reduce power consumption by 220kwh / t.Al. With the molecular ratio NaF / AlF 3 As the molar ratio decreases, the melting point of the electrolyte decreases, but the dissolution rate of alumina decreases. Among various additives, LiF can significantly reduce the initial crystallization temperature of the electrolyte, and can increase the conductivity and reduce the vapor pressure of the electrolyte. However, due to the high price of lithium salts, the industrial application is limited. [0004] At present, most industrial aluminum...
