Carbon Particles in Aluminium Reduction Electrolyte – Origin and Distribution
Carbon anodes are still an important component of molten salt electrolysis in
aluminium primary production. While the raw materials for anode production are
suffering a reduction in quality and aluminium production faces competition from
lithium-ion batteries, knowledge and improved process control has increased. This
means that anodes can now be manufactured to a better quality than 40 years ago.
Despite the improved quality of the anodes, the problem of "carbon dust", carbon
particles that contaminate the electrolyte, is notoriously known as a nuisance, but has
not been researched nearly satisfactorily. A common response to this is: "Improve the
quality of the anodes and the problem will take care of itself".
Keywords: Aluminium Electrolysis; Carbon Dust; Carbon Anodes
