PERFECCIONAMIENTOS INTRODUCIDOS EN UNA CELDA DE REDUCCION ELECTROLITICA.

摘要

An electrolytic reduction cell for the production of molten metal by electrolysis of a molten electrolyte, which is less dense than the molten metal includes a generally rectangular shell, one or more suspended anodes and a floor structure which supports a body of the molten metal. At least one essentially linear baffle member extends transversely of the cell and is formed with restricted flow channels for absorbing energy from the molten metal and to reduce the amplitude of the wave motion in the molten metal. The baffle may be in the form of a single member formed with apertures for metal flow restriction or may be constituted by a number of separate aligned members with metal flow channels between them.
