Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrolytic anode material, in particular to a prebaked anode steel claw coating and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The prebaked anode steel claw is an important component in the production of electrolytic aluminum, which connects the anode carbon block and the aluminum guide rod, bears the weight of the anode, and also transmits the super-capacity current. At a high temperature of 400-900 DEG C, the anode steel claw is easily subjected to baking, erosion, impact of electrolyte, anode covering material, air and electrolytic flue gas, and at the same time, it also bears the damage of periodic cycle of heat treatment, thermal deformation stress, electromagnetic force and impact force, which easily leads to corrosion, wear and shedding of the surface of the steel claw, causing serious damage to the steel claw and destruction of the cross-sectional uniformity, affecting the uniformity of the electrolytic cell, and further reducing the production efficiency of aluminum electrolysis, and significantly increasing the operating cost of electrolytic aluminum, while the consumption of anode steel claw is an important economic and technical index of aluminum electrolysis production. According to statistics, for example, for an enterprise with an annual output of 200,000 tons of primary aluminum, when the steel claw is severely corroded, the average service life of the anode steel claw is about 16 cycles, and the annual replacement and repair cost is as high as 8 million yuan, and the cost increase caused by the imbalance of the uniformity of the electrolytic cell is significantly higher than the data, and the corrosion products formed after the corrosion of the steel claw will enter the electrolyte, affecting the quality of the primary aluminum, the distribution of the current and the correct judgment of the operating conditions of the electrolytic cell.

[0003] In the process of aluminum electrolysis production, in order to prevent the anode steel claw from being washed and corroded by the electrolyte, protective measures need to be taken for the anode steel claw, but the corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and delamination resistance of the anode steel claw have always been a difficult problem faced by the aluminum electrolysis industry, and how to reduce the corrosion, oxidation and washing of the anode steel claw is of great significance to prolong the service life of the steel claw, improve the quality of the primary aluminum and reduce the production cost. In the prior art, coating method is a common technical means for protecting the steel claw.

[0004] The current common surface treatment technology for prebaked anode steel claw mainly has two technical directions, one of which adopts substrate passivation technology, and the other of which adopts alloying technology mechanism to form a corrosion-resistant layer on the surface of the steel claw; the other one adopts the technical idea of increasing the maintenance structure on the outer layer of the anode steel claw, such as high-temperature resistant coating, to directly protect the anode steel claw and prevent various forms of corrosion.

[0005] As patent documents 202311639160.6, 202310080536.8, 202210835478.0, 201710842416.1 all use the above method, although these existing coatings and coatings have played a protective role for the anode steel claw to a certain extent, but there are still long process flow, poor impact resistance of the corrosion protection layer, easy to fail in the cyclic temperature difference use environment, easy to fall off in the continuous high temperature and strong corrosion condition, poor resistance and other single effect problems. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a kind of prebaked anode steel claw paint and its preparation method and application, to solve the current existing steel claw coating due to single or unbalanced performance causes poor corrosion resistance, resistance, surface failure effect under extreme use environment difference technical problem.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems and achieve technical effects, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A kind of prebaked anode steel claw paint, including the following mass parts of components:

[0009] 5~50 portions of composite binder, 0.1~5 portions of composite slow-release passivation agent and solvent;

[0010] The composite slow-release passivation agent includes phosphate and corrosion inhibitor, the phosphate includes one or two of zirconium-based phosphate, aluminum-based phosphate, magnesium-based phosphate, calcium-based phosphate, chromium-based phosphate and sodium-based phosphate;The corrosion inhibitor includes the combination of at least two of chromate, nitrate, nitrite, borate, tungstate, benzoic acid, zinc sulfate and acid calcium carbonate;

[0011] The composite binder includes sol, water glass and boron-containing compound.

[0012] The design idea of the above technical solution is that, by composite binder and composite slow-release passivation agent, physical and chemical double protection is provided respectively, on the one hand, composite slow-release passivation agent is selected to provide chemical protection for anode in oxidation and adsorption aspects, on the other hand, the surface precipitation film formed by composite binder provides physical protection for anode, at the same time, composite slow-release passivation agent and composite binder form a protection system of three-dimensional interweaving, multi-phase inlay and gradient distribution, which not only ensures the continuous and stable performance of each function, but also promotes the structural strength, compactness, spreading effect, mechanical properties and slow-release effect of the coating, provides continuous and effective physical and chemical protection for the anode steel claw, achieves the purpose of preventing the steel claw from being eroded, maintaining the good working state of the steel claw and prolonging the service life of the steel claw, and finally maintains the uniform electrical balance of the anode, improves the performance index of the electrolytic cell, and significantly reduces the overhaul cost of the steel claw.

[0013] In the design of the composite slow-release passivation agent, the phosphate and the corrosion inhibitor form a composite passivation system, which utilizes the characteristic that the phosphate gradually decomposes at high temperature, and by adjusting the release rate of the passivation factor generated by the corrosion inhibitor, a sustained passivation effect on the surface of the steel claw is achieved. In the design of the composite binder, the water glass in the composite binder does not directly melt under the temperature conditions of the electrolytic cell, but first changes to a colloidal state, and is compounded with the boron-containing compound to form a molten body at different temperatures, which fills the voids generated by the decomposition of the base material and the coating, improves the sealing and stability of the coating material, and then improves the overall impact resistance and shear resistance of the coating after combining with other structural materials in the coating at high temperature, making the solidification bonding between the coating and the base material more dense and stable, showing good mechanical strength and excellent acid resistance. The basic adhesion, film forming stability of the sol material, and the compatibility and high temperature reaction of the boron-containing compound, water glass and other material components in the formula are good, and the boron-containing compound, water glass together reduces the technical problems of poor coating resistance and easy peeling under the condition of continuous high temperature and strong corrosion.

The filling powder such as barite and glass powder has stable chemical properties, especially in the hydrogen fluoride working environment of the electrolytic cell, so it can increase the thickness, strength and durability of the coating, and can be partially converted into a cosolvent and plugged in the gaps caused by the reaction or volatilization of other materials in the coating under high temperature and acidic conditions; at the same time, the filling powder with a considerable specific surface area has good wrapping effect on other materials under the combined action of the plasticity, bonding and viscosity of kaolin (thickening, dispersion, structural reinforcement), which reduces the loss of the coating under high temperature, high cavitation and high impact environment, and ensures the mechanical properties of the coating and the bonding effect with the base material. The structural reinforcing agent can participate in the construction of the protection system of the composite slow-release passivation agent and the composite binder mentioned above, and jointly reconstruct the multi-phase inlay, gradient distribution and composite phase toughening protection coating.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the total loss on ignition of the prebaked anode steel claw coating is ≤10%, and the total organic component mass is ≤5%. The volatilization of solvents during the film formation of the coating at a high temperature causes defects such as micropores and pinholes in the coating, which significantly affects the corrosion resistance of the coating; the leaching of coating components caused by acid gas corrosion also causes the formation of pores, thereby accelerating the damage of the coating and the corrosion of the metal substrate; in addition, considering the high-temperature environment of the electrolytic cell, the volatilization of organic components and the generation of VOCs during use will affect safety and the environment. Therefore, the present application uses an inorganic material coating system to reduce the above-mentioned problems.

[0018] Based on the same technical concept, the present application also provides a preparation method of the prebaked anode steel claw coating, comprising the following steps:

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, in step (2), the stirring speed of the mixing operation is 200-500 rpm, and the mixing time is 15-60 min.

[0024] Based on the same technical concept, the present application also provides an application of the prebaked anode steel claw coating, which is used to form a protective coating on the surface of a prebaked anode steel claw used in an electrolytic aluminum process.

[0030] As a further preferred solution of the above technical solution, the drying and curing treatment in step (2) is natural air drying curing or oven drying curing treatment, the natural air drying treatment time is more than 24 h; the oven drying curing treatment temperature is 35-60 ℃, and the oven drying time is more than 4 h.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
