A study of anode baking gas composition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A method has been developed to measure gas composition inside the pit in open anode baking furnaces. The gas composition can be used to understand attack on and degradation of the refractory lining, baking behavior and ... -
Cathode Wear in Electrowinning of Aluminum Investigated by a Laboratory Test Cell
(The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The lifetime of an aluminum electrolysis cell is mainly determined by the cathode wear, especially for high amperage cells utilizing graphitized carbon cathodes. The cathode wear mechanisms are, however, complex and still ... -
Direct Method for Producing Scandium Metal and Scandium-Aluminium Intermetallic Compounds from the Oxides
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The electrochemical de-oxidation process, also called FFC-Cambridge process, has been proposed previously to produce reactive metals and their alloys through reduction of their metal oxides. The process works by introducing ... -
The Effect of Grain Refiner on Aluminium Filtration
(The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Grain refinement of aluminium and its alloys is a common industrial practice. Fine equiaxed, grain structure leads to improved castability, strength, machinability, formability, and good surface finish. Filtration is one ... -
Evaluation of Gas Composition from Laboratory Scale Electrolysis Experiments with Anodes of Different Sulphur Content
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)With the anticipated decrease in available anode raw materials, future anodes are expected to contain higher levels of impurities. Currently the implications of this are being investigated through evaluation of electrochemical ... -
Formation of aluminium carbide in Hall-Héroult electrolysis cell environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The formation and dissolution of aluminium carbide under conditions similar to the chemical and electrochemical environments in the Hall-Héroult process were studied in laboratory cells, including cells with reversed ... -
Heating New Anodes Using the Waste Heat of Anode Butts: Establishing the Interface Thermal Contact Resistance
(The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In order to be able to assess the rate of heat transfer between a new anode and an anode butt, it is critical to measure the interface thermal contact resistance between them. For that purpose, a lab experiment has been ... -
Impurity Elements in Raw Gas Ultra-Fines from Aluminium Electrolysis Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)The effect of alumina feeding and pot suction rate on the amount and composition of fine particles in raw gases has been investigated. Particle size distribution of ultra-fines (Di < 10 μm) were measured in real time and ... -
Investigation of Sodium Sulfate Additions into Cryolite-Alumina Melts
(The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)In the Hall-Héroult process, sulfur impurities may not only emit harmful gases but also reduce current efficiency. To better understand this process, the behaviour of sulfur compounds in a cryolite-alumina melt at 1253 K ... -
Multi-scale Modelling of Titanium Diboride Degradation Using Crystal Elasticity Model and Density Functional Theory
(The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series;2367-1181, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Titanium diboride (TiB2) is regarded as the most promising material to be used as inert cathodes in the electrochemical reduction of alumina to aluminium metal. TiB2 is well known as a ceramic material with high strength ... -
Online monitoring of aluminium primary production gas composition by use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Online monitoring of aluminium primary production raw gas is challenging due to the high concentration of HF in the presence of water. Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) analyzers retrofitted with sapphire optical windows allow for ... -
