Abstract Scope |
Process control systems and process simulations of aluminium electrolysis oven performance generally assume a homogeneous electrolyte distribution. In reality, concentration gradients in the aluminium cells are common due to insufficient mixing. The distribution of carbon particles in the bath was compared between “clean” and “dusty cells”, which were defined as having dust in the tap hole and anode hole. Simultaneously, physical Anode-Cathode-Distance (ACD) measurements were conducted to study a possible association of the anode cathode distance and the local carbon content in the electrolyte. |
