The influencing factors of temperature, time, and the ratio of liquid to solid in alkaline and acidic leaching were investigated. The results show that the recovery of soluble compounds of Na3AlF6 and Al2O3 dissolving into the solution during the NaOH leaching is 65.0%,and the purity of carbon reaches 72.7%. During the next step of HCl leaching, the recovery of soluble compounds of CaF2 and NaAl11O17 dissolving into the HCl solution is 96.2%, and the carbon purity increases to 96.4%. By mixing the acidic leaching solution and the alkaline leaching solution, the cryolite precipitates under a suitable conditions of pH value 9 at 70 °C for 2 h. The cryolite precipitating rate is 95.6%, and the purity of Na3AlF6 obtained is 96.4%.展开更多

The distribution of fluorides and cyanide in a 350 kA cell operated for 2396 days was analyzed and the footprint and corrosion mechanism of the harmful substances in SPL were also studied. It is found that the fluorides are mainly concentrated in the cathode carbon block and the layer of dry barrier under the cathodes, which is closely related to permeability of the cathodes and dry barrier the fluorides penetrate in. Cyanide has a low concentration in the cell center and a high concentration in the sidewall, which is positively related to the air amount entering into the areas in the cells.展开更多
