Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum electrolysis technology. Background Technology
[0002] Since Roue-Hol invented the molten salt process for aluminum smelting, the application of anodes in aluminum electrolysis has been discontinuous. Over the years, Jia Shiming and Wang Hongxia of the Wuhan Decheng Science and Technology Engineering Research Institute invented the continuous anode. Therefore, the installation of the continuous anode in the aluminum electrolysis cell requires a scientific approach. The aim is to achieve: 1) centralized utilization of thermal energy; 2) overcoming fugitive emissions of waste gas; 3) a simpler and more advanced material feeding method; 4) a simpler structure; and 5) a more advanced process. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To save energy and protect the environment, and to ensure the scientific installation of continuous anodes on aluminum electrolysis cells, we have invented a fixing bracket device for continuous anodes on aluminum electrolysis cells.
[0004] This invention mainly utilizes a continuous anode fixed support frame to replace the traditional aluminum electrolysis cell for fully enclosed production, eliminating fugitive emissions of waste gas and achieving fully automated, fully enclosed gas collection, purification, and material feeding.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A continuous anode fixing bracket is installed on the edge of an insulated tank shell, with an insulating plate between them. Waste gas generated during electrolysis is collected by the electrolyte, the insulating plate, and especially the gas chamber formed by the continuous anode bracket and the carbon anode, and then discharged through holes to a purification system for treatment. This is a very strictly closed system, strictly preventing fugitive emissions. The limiting block limits and fixes the continuous anode metal shell, connecting the two as a whole; the holes can also serve as material discharge holes. The continuous anodes can be arbitrarily arranged on the fixing bracket device; there can be two or more in any arrangement, and the holes can also be arbitrarily designed and laid out, or used as material discharge holes. The process is simple, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly, realizing continuous and automated production of electrolytic aluminum anodes. Attached Figure Description

[0009] Figure 1 The continuous anode mounting bracket shown is installed on the edge of the insulated tank shell 1. An insulating plate 5 separates the anode and cathode currents. The current flowing through the carbon anode 11 in the continuous anode metal shell 10 passes through the electrolyte 4 to the molten aluminum 2, then through the inert cathode 3 to form a circuit with the external power supply, thus realizing aluminum electrolysis. The waste gas generated during electrolysis is collected in the gas cavity 6 formed by the electrolyte 4, the insulating plate 5, the continuous anode mounting bracket 7, and the carbon anode 11, and then discharged through the hole 8 to the purification system for treatment. This is a very strictly closed system, strictly preventing fugitive emissions. The limiting block 9 limits and fixes the continuous anode metal shell 10, connecting the two into one unit. Some holes 8 can also be used as material discharge holes.
[0010] Figure 2 The continuous anode shown can be arbitrarily arranged on the fixed bracket device on the aluminum electrolysis cell. There can be two or more in any arrangement, and the holes 8 can also be arbitrarily designed and arranged.
