Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for regulating an aluminum production cell by electrolysis of alumina dissolved in an electrolyte based on molten cryolite, in particular according to the Hall-Héroult method.
- Aluminum metal is produced industrially by igneous electrolysis, namely by electrolysis of alumina in solution in a bath based on molten cryolite, called electrolyte bath, in particular according to the well-known Hall-Héroult process.
- the electrolyte bath is contained in cells, called “electrolysis cells”, comprising a steel box, which is coated internally with refractory and / or insulating materials, and a cathode assembly located at the bottom of the cell. Anodes are partially immersed in the electrolyte bath.
- the anodes are typically made of carbonaceous material, even if they can also be made, in whole or in part, of a material called "inert", such as a metallic material or ceramic / metal composite (or “cermet").
- inert such as a metallic material or ceramic / metal composite (or “cermet”).
- electrolysis cell normally designates the assembly comprising an electrolysis cell and one or more anodes.
- the electrolysis current which circulates in the electrolyte bath and the liquid aluminum sheet via the anodes and cathode elements, operates the alumina reduction reactions and also makes it possible to maintain the bath. electrolyte at a temperature of around 950 ° C by the Joule effect.
- the electrolysis cell is regularly supplied with alumina so as to compensate for the consumption of alumina resulting from the electrolysis reactions.
- the Faraday productivity and efficiency of an electrolysis cell are influenced by several factors, such as the intensity and distribution of the electrolysis current, the temperature of the bath, the content of dissolved alumina and the acidity of the bath. electrolyte, etc., which interact with each other.
- the melting temperature of a cryolite-based bath decreases with the excess of aluminum trifluoride (A1F 3 ) compared to the nominal composition (3 NaF. A1F 3 ).
- the melting temperature is also influenced by the presence of compounds such as CaF 2 , MgF 2 or LiF. In modern factories, operating parameters are adjusted to target Faraday yields above 90%.
- an electrolysis cell therefore requires precise control of its operating parameters, such as its temperature, the alumina content, the acidity, etc., so as to maintain them at predetermined set values.
- Several regulatory processes have been developed in order to achieve this objective. These methods generally relate either to the regulation of the alumina content of the electrolyte bath, or to the regulation of its temperature, or to the regulation of its acidity, that is to say the excess of AlF 3 .
- An excess of alumina creates a risk of fouling of the bottom of the tank by undissolved alumina deposits which can transform into hard plates which are capable of electrically isolating part of the cathode. This phenomenon then favors the formation in the metal of very strong horizontal electric currents which, by interaction with the magnetic fields stir the sheet of metal and cause instability of the bath-metal interface.
- an alumina defect can in particular cause the appearance of the "anode effect", that is to say the polarization of an anode, with sudden rise in the voltage across the terminals of the cell. and release in large quantities of fluorinated and fluorocarbon (CF X ) products, whose high absorption capacity of infrared rays promotes the greenhouse effect.
- alumina content in a very precise and very narrow concentration range (typically from 1% to 3.5%, and preferably between 1.5 and 2.5%, in the cells comprising anodes made of carbonaceous material), taking into account the decrease in the solubility rate of alumina linked to the new composition as well as the lowering of the bath temperature.
- the alumina content regulation methods consist in modulating the supply of alumina as a function of the value of R and of its evolution over time. This basic principle has been the subject of numerous patents until very recently (see for example the French application FR 2,749,858 corresponding to the American patent US 6,033,550). These regulation methods do not directly take into account the rate of dissolution of the alumina added to the electrolyte.
- This regulation mode makes it possible to maintain the alumina content of the bath in a narrow and low range and thus to obtain Faraday yields of the order of 95% with acid baths, while simultaneously and significantly reducing the quantity (or frequency) of anode effects on the tanks which are counted as the number of anode effects per tank and per day (EA / tank / day) under the name “anode effect rate”.
- tanks with so-called inert anodes whose bath can be at a temperature below 950 ° C and / or whose concentration of dissolved alumina can be above 3%, or even more, are also sensitive. alumina precipitation.
- the regulation techniques based on the simple measurement of the resistivity are difficult to apply since the resistivity then varies little with the concentration of alumina.
- the subject of the invention is a method of regulating an electrolysis cell intended for the production of aluminum by igneous electrolysis, that is to say by passing current through an electrolyte bath based on molten cryolite. and containing dissolved alumina, in particular according to the Hall-Héroult process.
- the regulation method according to the invention comprises the addition of alumina to the electrolyte bath of an electrolysis cell, and is characterized in that it comprises: a) the control of the addition of a determined quantity Qo of alumina in the bath; b) determining the value of an indicator A of the quantity Q of alumina which dissolves rapidly in the bath; c) determining the quantity ⁇ Q of alumina which does not dissolve quickly in the bath; d) adjusting at least one adjustment means and / or at least one piloting operation, and / or at least one intervention on the cell, as a function of the value obtained for the quantity ⁇ Q, so as to maintain it or reduce it to a value lower than a reference value S.
- Alumina is typically introduced in the form of doses of known quantity Qo, delivered over a period P by an automatic or metering device.
- the indicator A is advantageously determined from an electrical measurement on the electrolysis cell which is capable of detecting the variations in the electrical characteristics of the bath caused by the fraction of the added alumina which is dissolved in the bath.
- the Applicant has noted that, surprisingly, the additions of alumina produced a variation in the voltage, on a time scale of the order of a few seconds, which is attributable to the kinetics of dissolution. She also realized the importance of taking into account the alumina dissolution regimes, and in particular the fast and slow dissolution regimes.
- the rapid dissolution regime typically corresponds to the alumina grains which burst when entering the bath (under the effect of the high temperature and the evaporation of the water chemically linked to the alumina), dispersing fine particles d alumina which immediately suspended in the bath and therefore dissolve quickly in the latter, in a typical delay of a few seconds, that is to say less than the time P marking the arrival of the next dose.
- the slow dissolution regime typically corresponds to the alumina grains which, when they enter the bath, agglomerate by solidifying the surrounding bath, forming a solid mass more dense than the bath and the aluminum, which comes to deposit and accumulate on the bottom of the crucible.
- the alumina thus trapped can then dissolve in the bath only very slowly and very gradually over a long period of time, typically several hours or even several days.
- the indicator A may possibly be determined, in whole or in part, by sampling or using probes, typically chemical, physical or physicochemical probes, such as optical probes (Raman or other).
- probes typically chemical, physical or physicochemical probes, such as optical probes (Raman or other).
- the quantity Q of alumina which dissolves rapidly in the bath can be determined by calibrating said indicator A, typically using modeling and / or statistical measurements on cells of the same type operating under comparable conditions.
- This method of calculation can be applied in the case where alumina is injected in doses of known quantities Qo.
- the quantity ⁇ Q can, in certain cases, be determined by more elaborate methods, such as by numerical integral calculation, which take account, for example, of the thermal effects introduced by the additions of alumina, of the position of the measurement points or sampling, or other factors influencing this quantity. Said modifications of at least one cell adjustment means and / or of at least one control operation can advantageously be combined.

- the cathode elements generally comprise at least one cathode bar (6) made of metal (typically steel in the case of traditional tanks).
- the supply of alumina to the cell is intended to compensate for the substantially continuous consumption of the cell which essentially comes from the reduction of alumina to aluminum metal.
- the supply of alumina which is carried out by adding alumina to the liquid bath (13), is generally regulated independently.
- the supply means (11) typically include metering sticks (19) capable of piercing the alumina crust (14) and of introducing a dose of alumina into the opening (19a) formed in the alumina crust by drilling.
- the aluminum metal which is produced during electrolysis normally accumulates at the bottom of the tank and a fairly clear interface is established between the liquid metal (12) and the bath based on molten cryolite (13).
- the position of this bath-metal interface varies over time: it rises as the liquid metal accumulates at the bottom of the tank and it drops when liquid metal is extracted from the tank.
- electrolysis cells are generally arranged in line, in buildings called electrolysis halls, and electrically connected in series using connecting conductors. More specifically, the cathode bars (6) of a so-called “upstream” tank are electrically connected to the anodes (7) of a so-called “downstream” tank, typically by means of connecting conductors (16, 17, 18) and means supports (8, 9, 10) of the anodes (7).
- the cells are typically arranged so as to form two or more parallel rows. The electrolysis current thus cascades from one cell to the next.

- the quantity Q of alumina which dissolves quickly in the bath corresponds to the fraction of alumina which dissolves within a time which is typically of the order of a few seconds to a few tens of seconds.
- the quantity of ⁇ Q alumina which does not dissolve quickly in the bath corresponds to the alumina fraction which dissolves within a time which is typically of the order of several hours to several days. In order to simplify the regulation method according to the invention, it is possible to fix a single time threshold T between the fast and slow regimes.
- the quantity Q corresponds to the fraction of alumina which dissolves within a period less than or equal to a determined time threshold T and the quantity ⁇ Q corresponds to the fraction of alumina which dissolves within a period greater than threshold T.
- the time threshold T is typically between 100 and 1000 seconds.
- the quantity Qo corresponds to a flow rate, which can be continuous or discontinuous. It is typically expressed in the form of doses per unit of time, typically doses of the order of 1 kg.
- said indicator A is determined from at least one electrical measurement on the electrolysis cell (1) which is capable of detecting the variations in the electrical characteristics of the bath (13) caused by the fraction of added alumina which is dissolved in the bath.
- the indicator A can be determined from an analysis of a voltage U and / or of an intensity I measured on the cell (1), possibly expressed in the form of a resistance R .
- the voltage U is advantageously measured between a collector (17) and a rise (16), preferably in the lower part (16a) of said rise (as illustrated in the Figure 2), which allows in particular to limit the wiring (22) and facilitate access to the voltage measurement points (24, 25).
- Analysis of the voltage U and / or of the current I, or possibly of the resistance R can be carried out by signal processing.
- the known methods of signal processing can be used for this analysis, such as spectral analysis or time analysis (for example, by decomposition into wavelets or wavelet packets, by time-frequency analysis or by synchronous analysis of several signals (possibly measured at several places in the cell)).
- the signal can be processed in relation to information known elsewhere, such as orders to add alumina, in order to establish correlations and, possibly, to determine transfer functions.
- This data can also be processed statistically. For example, voltage signals marked by jumps from additions of alumina doses can be analyzed in their form by signal processing and in their number by statistical processing.
- Indicator A can also be determined from an active electrical measurement, such as a measurement of the resistivity of the bath (13), which can - under certain conditions
- the indicator A can be given by a variation of a specific resistance ⁇ RS, which can be determined by a measurement method comprising:

- RI and R2 can be given by an average value obtained from a determined number of values of voltage U and current I.
- the resistance R is typically measured using means (23) for measuring the intensity I of the current flowing in the cell and means (21, 22) for measuring the voltage drop U which this results at the terminals of the cell (typically the resulting voltage drop between the anode frame and the cathode elements of the cell).

- the voltage measurements could be taken between different climbs (16) and different cathode bars (6), advantageously near the alumina supply points (19a) (for example, near breakers-dosers when this mode of introduction of alumina is used).
- Said adjustment, piloting operation and intervention on the cell can be short, medium and long term actions.
- Said adjustment of at least one cell adjustment means typically comprises at least one modification of the quantity Qo, that is to say of the rate of supply of the cell with alumina.
- the quantity Qo can be adjusted by a modification of the feeding speed (that is to say by a modification of the number of doses of alumina per unit of time) and / or by a modification of the dose. added (i.e. the amount of alumina in each dose). These adjustments have an effect that is generally short-term.
- Said adjustment may also include at least one modification of the position of the anodes (7), for example by a modification of the position of a movable anode frame (10), either upwards or downwards, so as to modify the distance between the anodes (7) and the cathode elements (5, 6), and more precisely the anode / metal distance (DAM) when the liquid metal forms a sheet (12) under the anodes.
- This adjustment of a thermal nature, has an effect which is generally in the medium term.
- Said at least one control operation comprises for example the addition of a determined quantity of AlF 3 to said electrolyte bath (13). This operation has an effect which is generally long term.
- Said at least one intervention may include rapid displacement of the anodes (7) capable of modifying the interface conditions between the anodes and the bath and / or eliminating any gas bubbles present under the surface of the anodes.
- the reference value S is normally a very small value, so as to cause ⁇ Q to tend towards zero.
- the anode (s) (7) can be anodes made of carbonaceous material or non-consumable anodes.
- Non-consumable anodes may include a metallic material, a coated material or a cermet (i.e. a ceramic-metal composite).
- a test was carried out on a prototype tank provided with anodes made of carbonaceous material whose intensity was of the order of 480 kA. This tank was fitted with breaker-dosers capable of piercing the alumina crust and of injecting a determined dose of 1 kg of alumina into the opening formed by drilling.
- Voltage measurement points (24, 25) between certain anodes and certain cathode bars have been fixed on this tank, as schematically illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the voltage was recorded during electrolysis over a period of approximately 1 month. This voltage exhibited temporal fluctuations of the order of 10 to 20 mV.
- An analysis of this signal by digital processing has highlighted voltage dropouts of the order of a few mV to a few tens of mV which are attributable to the addition of alumina doses by the breakers (see FIG. 4 which gives an example of voltage U measured as a function of time t).
- These setbacks also had an amplitude and a shape attributable, at least in part, to the kinetics of dissolution of the alumina.
- the Applicant has had the idea of using these steps as indicators of the amount of alumina which dissolves in the bath.
