Abstract
The invention discloses an energy-saving cathode carbon block structure of an aluminum cell, which comprises cathode carbon blocks (1) and cathode steel bars (6), wherein the cathode carbon blocks (1) are arranged in parallel along the length direction according to a conventional mode; break joints among the cathode carbon blocks (1) are tied firmly by using a carbon element paste (2) to form a cuboid cathode structure; and the upper part of the cathode carbon blocks (1) is provided with an aluminum storage pool (4) and a spout. Carbon blocks (3) are in adhesive connection with the cathode carbon blocks (1). By using the energy-saving cathode carbon block structure, a great deal of aluminum liquid in an electrolytic cell is stored in the aluminum storage pool, and the fluctuation generated by the influence on the aluminum liquid by electromagnetic force is limited by the aluminum storage pool. Simultaneously, the processed (adhered) cathode carbon blocks change the resistance of conventional cathodes to ensure that the resistance from the aluminum storage pool to the cathode steel bars is greatly lower than that from the surface of a cathode to the cathode steel bar, so a great deal of current flows to the cathode steel bars from the aluminum storage pool, the horizontal current on the cathode surface is greatly reduced, the electromagnetic force is weakened and the fluctuation of the aluminum fluid is reduced.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cathode structure of aluminium cell.
Background technology
General aluminium cell is the box-shaped of a rectangular parallelepiped at present, and molten cryolitic electrolytic solution and the aluminium liquid about 900～1000 ℃ is equipped with in inside.Electrolyzer is provided with riser bus bar in a side of long axis direction, and electric current enters the anode beams on the groove thus.The carbon annode that is suspended on the anode beams is immersed in the electrolytic solution, generates aluminium liquid with electrolytic solution generation chemical reaction, and aluminium liquid is termly by outside the task equipment sucking-off groove.In the bottom of electrolyzer, by some carbon anode/cathodes that are built-in with rod iron electric current to be derived outside the groove, electric current is pooled on the riser bus bar of next platform trough by being arranged on electrolyzer negative busbar all around.Electrolyzer is sent to electric current on the downstream slot from upstream slot by the series system of a plurality of resistance.In this process,, thereby need to consume a large amount of electric energy because the full groove pressure drop of electrolyzer is formed in the volts lost that each resistance exists.
The electric energy efficiency of Aluminium Electrolysis (η E) is meant the metallic aluminium of production some amount, the ratio of energy that should consume (W reason) and the energy (W is real) that in fact consumed in theory, that is:
η E=W reason/W in fact * 100%
By calculating, when adopting the active anode aluminium metallurgy, the theoretical power consumption of every kg aluminium is 6.33kwh; And the state-of-the-art electrolytic aluminium factory of our times is grabbed the 325kA electrolytic series of Quebec, CAN, and its power consumption reaches 9.0kwh, and hence one can see that, and the electric energy efficiency η E of its electrolysis of aluminum is: η E=W reason/W reality * 100%=6.33/9.0=48.7%.This shows that the utilization rate of electrical of Aluminium Electrolysis is very low, energy-saving potential is very big.
In Aluminium Electrolysis, energy-conservation approach is a lot.In theory, the power consumption rate only depends on that the average voltage V of current efficiency and electrolyzer is flat.And the average voltage of aluminium cell mainly comprises three parts, that is:
V puts down=Δ V groove+Δ mother V+Δ V effect
In the following formula: Δ V groove is an electric tank working voltage, comprises that anode, negative electrode, electrolyte voltage are fallen and counter-electromotive force (or claiming actual decomposition voltage), as shown in the formula expression:
V groove=Δ V sun+Δ V the moon+Δ V matter+E is anti-
Δ V is female to fall for the outer busbar voltage of groove, and the outer bus of groove mainly contains and connects bus etc. between positive bar and groove.When electric current passes through these buses, will cause the resistive voltage loss, although they are very little, certain electrolysis loss is arranged.In addition, the contact position of bus and bus (welding or crimping) also can produce contact drop.
Δ V effect is shared volts lost for anode effect.
In the electrolyzer production process, when generating effect, bath voltage can raise suddenly, and this also can cause the extra consumption of electric energy, and it is shared out equally in the whole electrolytic series on each electrolyzer, is called anode effect and shares voltage.
Typical case's electrolyzer each several part voltage is composed as follows:
By above theory as can be known, after design of electrolysis cells was finished, its cathode drop, anode drop, bus pressure drop promptly can be considered constant.And and the production related effect to share the ratio of the shared full bath voltage of voltage less, control this part and be difficult to reduce significantly the groove average voltage.As seen from the above table, electrolyte voltage is fallen and has been accounted for 35%～40% of average voltage, is one of key project that reduces the electrolyzer average voltage.
At present, the reduction method for the ionogen pressure drop mainly contains two kinds:
First method: improve electrolyte ingredient, improve electrolytical electric conductivity;
Second method: reduce pole span (distance on anode and aluminium liquid surface), promptly reduce the resistance of electrolyte melt;
For first method, testing laboratory's test data shows that when molecular ratio increase by 0.1, its specific conductivity increases by 1.5% approximately.Corresponding ionogen pressure drop can reduce by 1.5%.Yet, will reduce current efficiency again after molecular ratio is too high, therefore, this method only is suitable for slightly reducing the energy consumption of electrolyzer, and at present the molecular ratio of industrial cell generally all between 2.0～2.6, can obtain the better economic index.
For second kind of method that reduces pole span, depend primarily on the moving situation of aluminium fluid wave in the electrolyzer.We know, when direct current by conductor, environment is around produced powerful magnetic field.In the magnetic field that aluminium liquid in the electrolyzer just in time is in column, positive bar, negative busbar and is produced, and itself is a current, and therefore, aluminium liquid can be subjected to the influence of the action of a magnetic field power and move.In electrolyzer, " magnetomechanical effects " takes place in the effect that is subjected to the magnetic field vertical component owing to the horizontal current component in the aluminium liquid; In addition, ionogen and aluminium liquid also are subjected to the stirring action of anodic gas.Aluminium liquid surface can produce distortion under these circumstances; After these distortion are big, will cause the fluctuation on aluminium liquid surface, thereby bring difficulty for reducing pole span.Therefore, how suppressing the fluctuation at aluminium liquid interface, is to reduce the key that pole span reduces voltage.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: a kind of energy-saving cathode carbon block structure of aluminum cell is provided, this structure is suppressed at the fluctuation of aluminium liquid in the scope, pole span is effectively reduced, reduce the electrolyzer average voltage, waits deficiency greatly with the fluctuation that overcomes the aluminium liquid interface that prior art exists.
The present invention adopts following technical scheme: carry out machining or carry out abnormal shape bonding at traditional cathode surface, cathode block cutting (bonding) is gone out one by one storage aluminium pond, aluminium liquid in the electrolyzer is stored in the aluminium pond in large quantities, and aluminium liquid is subjected to the influence of electromagnetic force and the fluctuation that produces will be limited by storage aluminium pond.Simultaneously, cathode block by processing (bonding), changed the resistance of conventional cathode, make storage aluminium pond to the resistance of negative electrode rod iron be significantly less than the resistance of cathode surface to the negative electrode rod iron, thereby make a large amount of electric currents flow to cathode steel bar, and a spot of electric current flow to cathode steel bar by cathode surface by storage aluminium pond.So, can significantly reduce at the horizontal current of cathode surface, thereby electromagnetic force weakens, the fluctuation of aluminium liquid is lowered.
