ELECTROLYTIC PRODUCTION OF HIGH PURITY ALUMINUM USING CERAMIC INERT ANODES
摘要
A method of producing commercial purity aluminum in an electrolytic reduction cell comprising ceramic inert anodes is disclosed. The method produces aluminum having acceptable levels of Fe, Cu and Ni impurities. The ceramic inert anodes used in the process may comprise oxides containing Fe and Ni, as well as other oxides, metals and/or dopants.
