Abstract

Language:

Carbon anodes, utilized in the Hall-Heroult process for aluminum production, undergo consumption due to electrochemical reactions, coupled with parasitic reactions involving air and CO2. This study focuses on examining the reactivity of the binder matrix within the anode, constructed from petroleum coke and coal tar pitch, at a high temperature of 960°C. Through experiments conducted under pure CO2 conditions and varying concentration gradients, the apparent reaction rates of the binder matrix, alongside other anode constituents, were measured. The findings provide insights into the role of the binder matrix in the anode's overall reactivity and its contribution to anode consumption, elucidating the mechanisms leading to disintegration and dusting phenomena. These results contribute significantly to the understanding of carbon anode behavior in aluminum electrolysis, suggesting pathways for improving the efficiency and lifespan of the anodes used in this vital industrial process.
