Abstract:
Disclosed is an aluminum electrolytic cell having profiled cathode carbon blocks structures, comprising a cell case, a refractory material installed on the bottom, an anodes and a cathode. The cathode carbon blocks include a profiled structure having projections on the top surface of the carbon blocks, that is, a plurality of projections are formed on a surface of the cathode carbon blocks. The aluminum electrolytic cell having the cathode structure according to the present invention can reduce the velocity of the flow and the fluctuation of the level of the cathodal molten aluminum within the electrolytic cell, so as to increase the stability of the surface of molten aluminum, reduce the molten lose of the aluminum, increase the current efficiency, reduce the inter electrode distance, and reduce the energy consumption of the production of aluminum by electrolysis. With the above configuration, compounds or precipitates of viscous cryolite molten alumina can be formed on the lower portion between walls protruding on the upper surface of the cathode, which can prohibit the molten aluminum from flowing into the cell bottom through the cracks and apertures on cathodes, so that the life of the electrolytic cell can be extended.
