Non-consumable anode and lining for aluminum electrolytic reduction cell

Patent Beck, Theodore R [Seattle, WA]; Brooks, Richard J [Seattle, WA]

An oxidation resistant, non-consumable anode, for use in the electrolytic reduction of alumina to aluminum, has a composition comprising copper, nickel and iron. The anode is part of an electrolytic reduction cell comprising a vessel having an interior lined with metal which has the same composition as the anode. The electrolyte is preferably composed of a eutectic of AlF.sub.3 and either (a) NaF or (b) primarily NaF with some of the NaF replaced by an equivalent molar amount of KF or KF and LiF.

Cu--Ni--Fe anode for use in aluminum producing electrolytic cell

Patent Bergsma, S. Craig; Brown, Craig W.; Bradford, Donald R; ...

A method of producing aluminum in an electrolytic cell containing alumina dissolved in an electrolyte, the method comprising the steps of providing a molten salt electrolyte at a temperature of less than 900.degree. C. having alumina dissolved therein in an electrolytic cell having a liner for containing the electrolyte, the liner having a bottom and walls extending upwardly from said bottom. A plurality of non-consumable Cu--Ni--Fe anodes and cathodes are disposed in a vertical direction in the electrolyte, the cathodes having a plate configuration and the anodes having a flat configuration to compliment the cathodes. The anodes contain apertures therethroughmore »« less

Electrolytic Cell For Production Of Aluminum Employing Planar Anodes.

Patent Barnett, Robert J [Goldendale, WA]; Mezner, Michael B [Sandy, OR]; Bradford, Donald R [Underwood, WA]

A method of producing aluminum in an electrolytic cell containing alumina dissolved in an electrolyte, the method comprising providing a molten salt electrolyte having alumina dissolved therein in an electrolytic cell. A plurality of anodes and cathodes having planar surfaces are disposed in a generally vertical orientation in the electrolyte, the anodes and cathodes arranged in alternating or interleaving relationship to provide anode planar surfaces disposed opposite cathode planar surfaces, the anode comprised of carbon. Electric current is passed through anodes and through the electrolyte to the cathodes depositing aluminum at the cathodes and forming carbon containing gas at themore » anodes.« less

Reduced temperature aluminum production in an electrolytic cell having an inert anode

Patent Dawless, Robert K [Monroeville, PA]; Ray, Siba P [Murrysville, PA]; Hosler, Robert B [Sarver, PA]; ...

Aluminum is produced by electrolytic reduction of alumina in a cell having a cathode, an inert anode and a molten salt bath containing metal fluorides and alumina. The inert anode preferably contains copper, silver and oxides of iron and nickel. Reducing the molten salt bath temperature to about 900-950.degree. C. lowers corrosion on the inert anode constituents.
