摘要: A method for recycling spent carbon cathode of aluminum electrolysis includes the following steps: (1) crushing and sieving spent carbon cathode, to obtain carbon particles; (2) mixing the carbon particles with a sulfuric acid solution, to obtain a slurry A, and then performing pressure leaching, to obtain a slurry B; (3) evaporating and concentrating the slurry B until a mass percentage of water is lower than 8%, to obtain a slurry C; (4) adding concentrated sulfuric acid to the slurry C to obtain a slurry D, then roasting the slurry D at 150-300° C. for 0.5-10 h, and then roasting at 300-600° C. for 0.5-8 h, to obtain the roasted carbon; and calcining the roasted carbon at a high temperature, to obtain the purified carbon, or mixing the roasted carbon with a leaching agent, and performing leaching, filtering, and washing, to obtain the purified carbon.

摘要: An electrolytic cell for producing aluminum metal is disclosed. The electrolytic cell comprises at least one anode module having a plurality of anodes and being supported above a corresponding at least one cathode module having a plurality of cathodes, the at least one anode module being supported by a positioning apparatus configured to move inside the cell for selectively positioning the plurality of anodes within the electrolytic cell relative to adjacent cathodes in order to adjust an anode-cathode distance (ACD) and/or an anode-cathode overlap (ACO). Preferably, the anodes are inert or oxygen-evolving electrodes for an eco-friendly or “green” production of a metal, such as aluminum (or aluminium).
