    An interchangeable and wettable solid cathode for the electrolysis of a melt electrolyte is comprised of at least an intermetal aluminum compound of the group IV A, V A or VI A of the periodic system of elements. The aluminum and titanum compound in the //c phase has proved to be particularly appropriate. The form of execution represented in figure 1 comprises two assembled parts (10 and 18). The part (10) in its upper portion is made of aluminate while the lower portion (18) is made of an insulating material.

    This invention relates to a replaceable wettable cathode for an alum cell.
    The purpose of the invention, the profitability of service
    The goal is achieved in that it consists of an aluminide of one metal from the group

    no - titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium tantalum, chromium molybdenum and tungsten, without binding phase from; metallic aluminum The non-aluminum aluminide components, therefore, belong to the group UA, UA, and / or U1A of the periodic system of elements,
    Aluminides are in the form of individual binary compounds or in the form of ternary, quadruple (four-component) or five-component alloys. Their chemical and thermal stability makes it possible to use them both in molten electrolytes and in. molten aluminum, although in the latter, they are sparingly soluble. This solubility, however, decreases with decreasing temperature.
    At the operating temperature of the cell for the aluminum electrolysis cell, which is rounded to 950 ° C, the solubility of the metallic non-aluminum component of the aluminide in liquid aluminum is in the order of about 1%. The cathode elements are therefore melted until the released liquid aluminum is saturated with one or more metallic non-aluminum components.
    Cathode elements from aluminide. They can take any known form, they can be made of elements (sub-elements) connected by fastening, especially in the form of vertically arranged plates or rods. Because of the melting of the aluminum cathode, however, the elements firmly bound to the coal bottom (on) are not needed; they can be replaced for technical reasons and reasons of profitability. Since aluminum cathodes can not only be agglomerated, but can also be cast, the original cathode cells and fixtures can also be made in a complex shape and / or whole (from one piece).
    According to another embodiment, the elements of aluminum cathodes are located in refractory molten aluminum resistant anchors made of an insulating material.
    Instead of the cathode plates, it is also possible to pour aluminum balls and / or granules into the electrolysis cells and evenly distribute the current passing through the bath. Under known conditions, the balls or granules that are in contact exclusively with the liquid metal also consist of a suitable insulator material. 5 For all the geometric forms of the cathode elements, it is essential that the aluminide is not con- centrated. There is no binding phase of liquid aluminum. The aluminide would melt at the operating temperature of the cell for electrolysis, as a result of which the cathode elements would collapse in a short time.
    Titanium, zirconium, hafnium, 5 vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, and / and metaphys, tungsten metaphors, on the contrary, can be aluminum-coated in the Bbmie stoichiometric ratio, since their melting point is always above the aluminum electrolysis temperature. These metals: can also be used as structural parts in aluminum, for example, in the form of a cellular structure that is transfused or perearlomerous from aluminide,
    The aluminides melted during the electrolysis process are regenerated from the released metal and can be used again to make cathode cells.
    Thus, the material is circulated with relatively insignificant losses.

    For cost reasons, titanium aluminides are used as replaceable wetted solid-state cathodes. Despite being very famous, the technique typically uses only titanium alloys with a few percent aluminum or aluminum alloys with a small amount of percent titanium. Lying in relation to the composition of the alloy between TiAl and TiAlj | Phase is a very good cathode material. This (G phase with 50–75 at.% (35–63 wt.%) Aluminum is characterized by TiAl embedded in the TiAl matrix. The alloy richer in aluminum not only reflects on the stability of cathodes from solids, but also negatively affects operating conditions for electrolysis cells
     From the T1-A1-Shchavs phase diagram, it follows that the melting point of the α-phase is between 1340 and. These are relatively low melting points. Allows the manufacture of shaped parts from aluminides by means of both pyrometallurgy and powder metallurgy.
    At a cell operating temperature of about 950 ° C, the solubility of titanium in liquid aluminum is about 1.2%. The aluminum released from the cathode elements, therefore, melts the titanium-aluminum elements until the titanium content in it reaches 1.2%.
    . Thus, about 30 kg of solid cathode material is dissolved per ton of electrically released aluminum. In the case of a cathode, this means a consumption of 11.15 kg of titanium per ton of aluminum produced. If cathode plates are used in parallel to the lower side of the carbon anode, in practice the titanium aluminum alloy melts roundly up. up to 50% of the original thickness.
    When changing the anode, 60 kg of cathode cells are introduced into the cell for electrolysis, which appropriately form an appropriate unit in proportion to the working surface of the anode. Before inserting a new cathode element, residues (in the present case, 30 kg) must be removed from the electrolysis cell.
    These residues are fed directly to the installation to produce aluminum-mini cathodes.
    Example 1. Aluminum produced by electrolysis, which, along with 1.2% titanium, contains common impurities, is introduced into a thermostat for the molten metal, and conventional devices are used. In this thermostat, the temperature of the molten metal slowly drops to about 700 ° C.
    The TiAlj temperature has a density of 3.31 g / cm and therefore sinks to the bottom in lighter liquid aluminum. With the help of well-known means, such as unloading a furnace, suctioning a liquid metal or centrifuging, it is possible to extract another containing 0.2% titanium aluminide from the precipitate. When necessary, aluminum can be processed

    elemental boron, boron-aluminum alloy or boron compounds, such as potassium boron fluoride, and the amount of titanium in improved aluminum can be reduced to 0.0 May by the gift of titanium in the form of titanium diboride. % The precipitate of TiAlj formed upon cooling aluminum to 700 ° C contains still small amounts of metal.
    by suitable treatment, for example, with an acid. If a titanium-rich alloy is desirable than TiAlj j which is applicable for
    If the copper cathode phase is up to TiAlj, then aluminum can be removed by chlorination. The resulting titanium titanium aluminide is transferred to the same apparatus for preparing cathodes as the indicated cathodic residues. Examples of such devices are installations for casting molds or for shaping in powder metallurgy, which allow obtaining desired
    cathode shapes.
    Minor, however, the inevitable loss of titanium can compensate; by adding titanium dioxide to electrolytes, alumina or
    in alkaline solutions of alumina factories.
    Example 2. Similarly to titanium aluminide cathodes, it is possible to fabricate cathode cells from other aluminides and to use them in the electrolysis of aluminum.
    The test results are presented in the table.

    FIG. Figures 1 and 2 show aluminide cathodes schematically associated with carrier plates, a vertical section.
    FIG. 1 shows rectangular cathode plate 1 of aluminide with a covering surface 2 running parallel to the bottom side of the anode. The window 3 design improves the flow conditions in electrolytes. On the bottom side of the board has a dovetail
    5, which may be inserted into a corresponding recess in the carrier plate 6 of insulating material. The carrier plate 6, in the case of a working electrolysis cell, always remains in the liquid metal region. The supporting structure of the supporting plates is designed so that the boards cannot move to the side.
    Another variant of the cathode plates 1 of aluminides is shown in FIG. 2. Both the window design 2 and the bevelled underside must save certain for; the wetted material for this purpose and optimize the flow conditions in the bath. The board 1 is reinforced with a downwardly directed to the center of the process 3 in the carrier and, accordingly, in the support plate 4.
