专利摘要:
A wettable cathode for an electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of a molten charge, in particular for the production of aluminum, where the said cathode comprises individual, exchangeable elements each with a component part for the supply of electrical power. The elements are connected electrically, via a supporting element, by molten metal which has separated out in the process. The interpolar distance between the anodes and the vertically movable cathode elements is at most 2 cm.

专利说明:

The invention relates to the metallurgy of light metals, in particular, to devices for electrolytic production of aluminum, namely, to a cathode. The cathode of an aluminum electrolyzer, made in the form of plates fixed on the bottom of an electrolyzer at an angle to the horizontal toward the center of the electrolyzer, is known. The center of the electrolyzer using this cathode should be recessed to collect the cathode metal C. However, the need to have a recess in the center of the electrolyzer significantly increases its dimensions and material consumption (due to the need for enhanced thermal insulation of the bottom of the electrolyzer), and the difficulty in the circulation of the electrolyte causes the anodic effects, i.e. decrease in current output. The closest in technical essence and the achieved result to the invention is a cathode of an aluminum electrolyzer consisting of separate replaceable parts fastened together and equipped with a current lead. This cathode is the bottom of the cell 2. The disadvantages of the known cathode are that it does not provide for the intensive circulation of electrolyte, and this leads to the depletion of aluminum electrolyte layers adjacent to the cathode, which in turn increases the frequency of anode effects and reduces the current output. In addition, the design of the known cathode does not allow to reduce the distance between it and the anode, which increases the power consumption during electrolysis. The aim of the invention is to increase the current efficiency due to the cathodic polarization of the deposited metal and the organization of electrolyte movement and to reduce the power consumption during electrolysis by reducing the spacing between the electrodes. This goal is achieved by the fact that in the cathode of an aluminum electrolyzer consisting of separate interchangeable parts interconnected and equipped with a current lead, the interchangeable parts are made of a rod or plates and have at least one hole for electrolyte flow, and the current lead is vertical . The rods in cross section are square. FIG. 1 shows a cathode assembled from plates; a general view of FIG. This is the same, but from rods; in fig. 3 electrolyzer with cathodes, general view; longitudinal section in FIG. 4 - the same cross section. The cathode is assembled from separate replaceable parts — plates 1 or rods 2, vertical current leads 3, and supporting elements 4, with holes b in the plates 1 for circulating electrolyte and draining the resulting metal. Holes 5 can also be obtained by using a special shape of the rods 2 (figure 2), from which the cathode is assembled. The cathode is mounted on the bottom-6 of the electrolysis cell, equipped, for example, with baked anodes 7, connected to the busbar 8, an alumina hopper 9, cathode tires 10 to overlap 11. The cathode operates in the following way. When current is passed between the cathodes and the anodes 7, aluminum is depleted on the cathode, and through the holes 5 it flows to the bottom of the electrolyzer. When current flows, an electromagnetic effect also occurs, causing a directional movement of the electrolyte (shown in Fig. 3 with arrows). This leads to the fact that the electrolyte depleted in the electrolysis process is constantly replaced by a new one. At the same time, from the bunker 9, alumina is charged into the depleted electrolyte, which, when dissolved, enriches the electrolyte with aluminum and simultaneously cools it. Since liquid aluminum is collected on the bottom 6, the influence of electromagnetic forces on it is insignificant, and since the supporting elements 4 of the cathode are immersed in it, it is polarized cathodically. and dissolving it does not occur. Making the cathode in the form of interchangeable plates or rods equipped with supporting elements reduces the distance between the electrodes, which leads to a reduction in the loss of electricity for heating the electrolyte, while providing the possibility of continuous electrolyte circulation increases the current output.
