Understanding the Anode Porosity as a Means for Improved Aluminium Smelting
Abstract
The anode pore structure affects gas diffusion as well as air and carboxy reactivity burn-off during the aluminium electrolysis. The coarse porosity was investigated using X-ray computed tomography, the mid-range porosity using optical microscopy, and the finest porosity using mercury intrusion porosimetry. These methods were combined to gain a deeper understanding of porosity and how this affects anode quality and the potential for energy …
