Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a preparation method of carbon anode material for aluminum electrolysis, in particular to a preparation method of oxidation-resistant carbon anode material for aluminum electrolysis, and belongs to the technical fields of carbon preparation and aluminum electrolysis. BACKGROUND
[0002] The carbon anode is the most important component of the electrolytic cell, which shoulders two heavy responsibilities of delivering strong current to the high-temperature molten salt electrolytic cell and participating in the aluminum electrolysis electrochemical reaction. In theory, the electrochemical consumption of the carbon anode for producing 1 ton of aluminum will be 334 kg, but the carbon anode gross consumption in the industry will reach 500-550 kg, and the main reason for the huge gap between the theoretical carbon consumption and the actual carbon consumption is that, in addition to the necessary electrochemical consumption, the carbon anode will also react with the air at the top of the carbon anode and the CO2 gas at the bottom, resulting in additional consumption.
[0003] At present, in order to improve the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode and reduce the reactivity of the carbon anode with air and CO2, the methods adopted in the existing patents mainly include the following categories: the first category is to improve the oxidation resistance of the anode by coating a layer of coating on the surface of the anode, such as CN115895302A, CN101386995A, CN101386995A and the like, however, the method of using coating has the disadvantages of long process flow, high cost, introduction of impurities affecting the quality of primary aluminum and the like; the second category is to improve the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode by changing the raw materials in the production process of the anode and improving the physical properties of the aggregate, such as CN103952721A, CN107523846A, CN106191924A and the like; however, the stability of the raw materials needs to be guaranteed; the third category is to improve the oxidation resistance of the anode by adding metal compounds in the mixing process to change the reactivity of the carbon anode with air and CO2, such as CN103266332A, CN103276409A, CN103255438A and the like, however, the method ignores the influence of the additives on the resistivity, causing the reduction of current efficiency. In summary, it is urgent to develop a preparation method of carbon anode material which has strong universality of raw materials, short modification process and no obvious adverse effect on current efficiency. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the application provides a preparation method of carbon anode material for aluminum electrolysis with strong oxidation resistance.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the application is as follows:
[0006] A preparation method of carbon anode for aluminum electrolysis, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Further, the second antioxidant includes one or more of aluminum silicate, sodium feldspar, potassium feldspar, and calcium feldspar. Preferably, the second antioxidant is aluminum silicate. In this way, by adding the second antioxidant, aluminum silicate complex groups can be introduced, which are embedded in the micro-interlayer or edge of the carbon structure, and can prevent the Boudouard reaction of C and CO2, and reduce the CO2 reactivity of the carbon anode aggregate. In the subsequent kneading process, the functional elements and compounds of these additives can continue to be introduced into the coal pitch, and play a similar role in the coking process of calcination.
[0016] Further, the particle size distribution of the antioxidant is that the mass of particles less than 200 mesh accounts for more than 99.9% of the total mass. The particle size of the antioxidant particles is less than 200 mesh, which is beneficial to the full contact of the antioxidant with the petroleum coke, so that the two fully act in the calcination process.

[0022] Preferably, the amount of the conductive agent accounts for 0.5-2wt.%, more preferably 1-1.5wt.%, of the mass of the carbon anode green block.
[0023] Preferably, the conductive agent is one or more of graphite powder, carbon nanotube powder and conductive carbon black.
[0024] Preferably, the particle size distribution of the conductive agent is that the mass of particles with a particle size less than 200 mesh accounts for more than 99.9% of the total mass.
[0025] The conductive agent contains macromolecular aromatic hydrocarbons and sp 2 hybrid bonds, which can increase the graphite-like structure and sp 2 hybrid bonds in the aggregate of the carbon anode, improve the conductivity of the aggregate, alleviate the negative impact of the antioxidant on the conductivity, and also promote the coking of the coal tar pitch, thereby reducing the resistivity of the carbon anode.
[0026] Further, in S3, the baking is carried out in a baking furnace, the heating rate is controlled to be 10-20℃ / h, the baking temperature is 900-1300℃, and the holding time is 7-14h.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0028] (1) In the present application, by mixing and calcining the first antioxidant and petroleum coke, B element is introduced, the recombination and polymerization of the microstructure of petroleum coke during calcination are promoted, the aromaticity and graphitization degree of the calcined coke are improved, thereby the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode aggregate is improved, and finally the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode product is improved. By introducing aluminum-silicate complex groups, the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode product can be further improved.
[0029] (2) The carbon anode for aluminum electrolysis prepared in the present application has low air and CO2 reactivity, and low resistivity, which can better meet the requirements of the aluminum electrolysis process. The air reactivity of the carbon anode can be less than 10%, the CO2 reactivity can be less than 10%, and the resistivity can be 50 μΩ·m.
[0030] (3) In the present application, by controlling the addition amount of the antioxidant, the oxidation resistance of the carbon anode can be effectively improved, and the carbon anode can avoid causing significant adverse effects on the molten aluminum electrolyte or aluminum liquid during service.

[0032] Example 1
[0033] The preparation method of the carbon anode for aluminum electrolysis in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] According to the batching amount of 5.35 kg of the first antioxidant per ton of petroleum coke and 3.00 kg of the second antioxidant per ton of petroleum coke, trimethoxy boroxin (C3H9B3O6) (i.e. the first antioxidant, at this time, the content of element B in the added trimethoxy boroxin is 1000 ppm of the mass of the petroleum coke) and aluminum silicate (Al2SiO5) (i.e. the second antioxidant, at this time, the molar ratio of Al to Si in the added aluminum silicate is 2.0:1, and the content of element Al in the added aluminum silicate is 800 ppm of the mass of the petroleum coke) are added to the petroleum coke produced by a certain domestic factory and mixed thoroughly, and then placed in a rotary kiln for calcination at a temperature of 1200℃ for 2h to obtain antioxidant calcined coke.
[0035] The obtained calcined coke is classified according to particle size into coarse coke (8-4mm), medium coke (4-1mm), fine coke (1-0.074mm), and powder coke (-0.074mm).
[0036] The calcined coke (ratioed according to 15.7wt.% of coarse coke, 25.7wt.% of medium coke, 32.7wt.% of fine coke, and 25.9wt.% of powder coke) and coal pitch are mixed in a mass ratio of 85:15, and 2wt.% of graphite powder of the carbon anode green block is added for mixing, then the mixed material is added to a molding machine to be pressed and molded into a carbon anode green block, and placed in a baking furnace for baking, the heating rate is 15℃ / h, the baking temperature is 1100℃, the holding time is 10h, and the aluminum electrolysis carbon anode is prepared after slow cooling.
[0037] The R value of the prepared calcined coke is 0.61 (R=I D / I G , the ratio of the amorphous carbon peak intensity I D to the graphite carbon peak intensity I G in the Raman spectrum, the smaller the R value, the higher the graphitization degree), the air reactivity of the carbon anode obtained in the example is 9.23%, the CO2 reactivity is 8.86%, the resistivity is 48μΩ·m, and the true density is 2.07g / cm -3 .

[0090] It can be seen that the addition of the first antioxidant and the second antioxidant helps to obtain carbon anodes with good air reactivity and CO2 reactivity, but the addition amount of the antioxidant is not the higher the better.
