Anode effect (AE) phenomena in aluminium cells can be separated into several categories.
Firstly,'conventional'AEs (> 8V) are typically initiated on one or two localized anodes and …

The use of copper inserts in collector bars has been tested in the booster section of one line.
The impact on the metal velocity field, metal deformation, cell magneto-hydrodynamic state …

To realize the idea of accommodating wind power nearby the aluminum plant and achieving
a win–win situation in China, a great deal of basic research is still necessary. In this study, a …

In the last decade, the aluminum industry has realized interesting achievements due to the
cathode design. The combination of cathode shapes and collector bar designs allows for …

Recently novel cathode and modified collector bar designs have been tested by the
aluminum industry. Interesting achievements in terms of specific energy consumption have …

The heat losses of aluminium reduction cells depend strongly on the heat transfer
coefficients between the bath and side ledge or anodes. Using of anodes with slots can …

A novel multi-stage Al production through a carbosulphidation of Al2O3, followed by a
sodiothermic reduction of Al2S3, was proposed. In Stage-1, alumina (or bauxite) is reduced …
