Studies on the Hall-Heroult aluminum electrowinning process
Studies on the electrolysis of cryolite-alumina melt showed that even the best equipped smelter, functioning at 960 ºC, has only 33% energy efficiency. For stable functioning of the smelter at 3% alumina the minimum wt% ratio NaF/AlF3 was found to be 1.11. The anodes located on down-stream row were...
