Abstract

Language:

In the Hall–Héroult process, prebaked carbon anodes are utilized to produce primary aluminium. The quality of the anode plays a crucial role in the efficiency of electrowinning primary aluminium. In the production of anodes, the anode baking is considered as the stage most frequently causing anode problems. During the baking process, the anode undergoes complex physicochemical transformations. Moreover, the anode at a lower position, imposed by loading pressures from upper anodes, will creep during this process. Thus, the production of high-quality anodes demands efficient control of their baking process. This paper aims to investigate the thermo-chemo-mechanical properties of the anode mixture during the baking process, focusing on the modeling of these properties to enhance anode quality and performance. The findings emphasize the significant interdependencies among thermal, chemical, and mechanical behaviors in anode production, providing critical insights into the optimization of baking procedures for improved material characteristics.
