Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to combine very practical aspects of anode consumption with more theoretical ones. Dealing first with two procedures used for the determination of the carbon consumption and the height of the spent anode, some ideas are then presented on how the carbon anode is consumed in the electrolytic cell and what kind of basic electrochemical mechanism is assumed at its bottom surface.
