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.

Maintaining molten salt electrolyte concentration in aluminum-producing electrolytic cell

Patent Barnett, Robert J.; Mezner, Michael B.; Bradford, Donald R

A method of maintaining molten salt concentration in a low temperature electrolytic cell used for production of aluminum from alumina dissolved in a molten salt electrolyte contained in a cell free of frozen crust wherein volatile material is vented from the cell and contacted and captured on alumina being added to the cell. The captured volatile material is returned with alumina to cell to maintain the concentration of the molten salt.

Method And Reactor For Production Of Aluminum By Carbothermic Reduction Of Alumina

Patent Aune, Jan Arthur [Ytre Enebakk, NO]; Johansen, Kai [Kristiansand, NO]

A hollow partition wall is employed to feed carbon material to an underflow of a carbothermic reduction furnace used to make aluminum. The partition wall divides a low temperature reaction zone where aluminum oxide is reacted with carbon to form aluminum carbide and a high temperature reaction zone where the aluminum carbide and remaining aluminum oxide are reacted to form aluminum and carbon monoxide.
