Description

A METHOD USING ANODE ROD EQUIDISTANT
VOLTAGE DROP TO PREDICT ANODE EFFECT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method using anode rod equidistant voltage drop to predict an anode effect and, in particular to using electrolytic cell anode rod equidistant voltage drop data to predict a particular anode of a prebaked anode aluminum electrolytic cell on which the anode effect is to occur.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The conventional method for predicting an anode effect in an electrolytic cell comprises analyzing and processing the voltage signal of the overall electrolytic cell, and predicting the anode effect in the electrolytic cell according to the magnitude of the signal of the overall cell voltage. However, in the actual production, anode effect tends to first take place on a particular anode. In recent years, as the electrolytic cell increases in size, the drawbacks of the conventional method for predicting the anode effect have been increasingly discovered. The conventional method for predicting the anode effect by the overall cell voltage may only determine that the overall cell has an impending anode effect, but may not determine the specific area where the impending anode effect will take place. The method for suppressing an anode effect may only comprise large, simultaneous feeding at all the feeding openings, which feeding manner would alter the concentration of aluminum oxide in the electrolyte such that the aluminum oxide is not distributed uniformly in space, thereby increasing the consumption amount of aluminum oxide. The conventional method for predicting an anode effect without considering the differences between individual anodes can no longer satisfy the requirement of precision operation of new types of electrolytic cells, nor can it reduce energy consumption during the aluminum electrolysis process as called for by the world community. The new method for predicting an anode effect which may achieve a precise positioning is of great significance for further improving the technological and economic indicators of the aluminum electrolytic cell.
