This study investigates the low-temperature aluminum electrolysis process using potassium-cryolite-based electrolytes, aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption in aluminum production. The primary objective is to analyze the electrolyte chemistry, anode and cathode materials, and cell design for improving operational parameters. A systematic experimental methodology was employed, involving the setup of both 20-A and 100-A electrolysis cells to evaluate current efficiency and voltage anomalies during operation. Results demonstrate that the potassium-cryolite electrolyte provides a conducive environment for aluminum electrolysis, with significant improvements in current efficiency observed under optimized conditions. Voltage anomalies were identified, especially at higher current densities, impacting the overall performance. The purity of the produced aluminum metal was also measured, indicating a positive correlation with the controlled experimental parameters. These findings contribute to the understanding of low-temperature electrolysis and propose potential enhancements for the future of aluminum production technologies.
