| Abstract Scope |
Carbon anodes are regularly consumed during the electrolytic production of aluminum. The anode production involves the preparation of an anode paste from raw materials (calcined petroleum coke, coal tar pitch, and all recycled carbon materials such as butts and rejected anodes), the forming of green anodes, their cooling, and the baking of green anodes in large furnaces to about 1100-1150C. The forming of green anodes is carried out in a vibro-compactor or a press. The compaction process introduces stresses in the anodes. These stresses are released to a certain extent depending on the cooling process. This also impacts the behavior of the anodes during baking. An experimental study was undertaken to determine the impact of different cooling conditions on the anodes. In this article, the methodology will be discussed and the results will be presented. |
