10 Where do metals come from? occur naturally as compounds beneficiated high-purity feed reducing agents: H, C, M, e - options for alumina reduction?

11 Where do metals come from? (ºC)

12 Hall-Héroult electrolysis electrolyte: Na 3 AlF 6 -AlF 3 -CaF 2 feed: Al 2 O 3 temperature: 970 C anode: carbon anodic reaction: 3 O C 1.5 CO e - cathode: carbon cathodic reaction: 2 Al e - 2 Al overall reaction: Al 2 O C 2 Al CO 2 standard potential: E = 1.2 V

13 Where it all began

14 Where it all began

15 Where it all began

16 needs of current technology drivers: cost environmental compliance

17 environmental drivers

18 Prospective changes: a wish list new electrode materials inert anodes & wettable cathodes new electrolyte chemistries low-ratio bath lower energy consumption reduced emissions 1000 ka cell: economy of scale?

19 Properties of an inert anode * physically stable at service temperature * resistant to attack by fluoride electrolyte * resistant to attack by pure oxygen * electrochemically stable * electronically conductive * resistant to thermal shock * mechanically robust * easy to deploy (electrical connection to bus, startup, power interruptions, ) * affordable

20 The Materials Menu * ceramics * cermets * metals * coatings

21 Ceramic Anodes advantages * fully oxidized stable with hot O 2 concerns * electronic conductivity * solubility in cryolite * thermal shock resistance * mechanical stability * operational challenges examples *SnO 2 * ferrites, spinels, perovskites

22 The Materials Menu * ceramics * cermets * metals * coatings

23 Cermet Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites) advantages * combine features of ceramics and metals, i.e., chemical inertness + high electronic conductivity concerns * phase boundaries * solubility in cryolite * thermal shock resistance * mechanical stability * manufacturing net shapes * operational challenges

24 Cermet Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites) examples * metal dispersion in a ceramic matrix, e.g., copper, nickel, silver in a nickel ferrite matrix, NiFe 2 O 4 ceramic provides bulk, offers chemical stability metal confers conductivity & toughness

25 Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites) advantages * combine features of ceramics and metals, i.e., chemical inertness + high electronic conductivity * high electronic conductivity (more uniform current distribution) * thermal shock resistance * mechanically robust * easy to fabricate & deploy * self-repairing in service

26 Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites) concerns * stability of surface film example * thin oxide film on surface of metal alloy, e.g., Al 2 O 3 on Cu Al (90:10 by mass) alloy provides bulk, confers high electrical conductivity surface film protects alloy from chemical destruction by reaction with Hall bath and oxygen

27 85% Cu Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic 90% Cu composites) 93% Cu 96% Cu 99% Cu 100% Cu

28 Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites)

29 Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites)

30 Metal Anodes (ceramic/metallic composites)

31 attributes of dynamic surface film: reaction layer * reaction layer is self repairing, i.e., self forming in service * nca is dynamically stable in service: chemistry, electrochemistry, adhesion, * designed to thrive in Hall cell environment * reduced contact resistance of connections * superior conductivity ratio, κ th /κ el

32 these reaction layers are not coatings there are only two kinds of coatings: * made imperfect * become imperfect in service only a self repairing coating is acceptable reaction layer

33 status report: taking the pulse * what are the prospects for delivery of the inert anode? Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. - Niels Bohr

34 Radical innovation remember the menu of reducing agents assume that alumina is the feed assessment options: laboratory curiosity (not scalable) technical success (economic failure) disruptive technology (new era )
