Abstract
One of the most critical components of aluminum reduction technology is the anode. As the Hall-Héroult process is pushed closer and closer to its theoretical limits, every facet of anode manufacture and performance is being scrutinized to obtain optimum anode behavior in the reduction cell. A new anode plant design may help the world’s aluminum smelters solve some of their anode problems.
