Abstract: A pot furnace low-temperature calcination process may ensure that, by controlling the flame path temperature and discharge speed of the pot furnace, that the range of the temperature at which the petroleum coke is calcined in the pot is from 1150° C. to 1220° C., and that the discharge speed is 10 to 20% higher than the normal discharge speed and reaches 110˜120 kg/h, reducing the amount of desulfurization of the petroleum coke during the calcination so that the true density of the calcined coke is between 2.05 and 2.07 g/cm3.

Abstract: A pot furnace for calcining petroleum coke at low temperature may include a pot, and a cooling water jacket and a flame path below the pot. The flame path may include eight layers. An inlet of a first flame path layer may be in communication with a volatile channel in the front wall, and is provided with a first flame path layer flashboard An eighth flame path layer may be in communication with a communication flue. Flue gas may be discharged out of the furnace body through a main flue. A furnace bottom cooling channel may be provided below the eighth flame path layer.

Abstract: A cathode boss structure for an aluminum electrolytic cell is disclosed. The cathode boss is arranged on the top surface of the cathode carbon block or on the top of the gap between two cathode carbon blocks. The distance between cathode bosses is 400 mm-900 mm. The length of the throughout elongate cathode boss is 100-250 mm longer than that of cathode carbon block, and two ends thereof are directly embedded into the paste around lateral portion. The length of the embedded and butted cathode boss is in a range of 3000-3200 mm, two ends thereof are fixed by binding carbon blocks respectively, and the binding carbon blocks are embedded into the paste around lateral portion. The cross-section of the cathode boss structure is in the shape of rectangle or isosceles trapezoid. The cathode boss structure is applicable to all types of current electrolytic cells.

Abstract: The present invention discloses replaceable cathode choking devices of an aluminum reduction cell which comprises cathode carbon blocks and cathode choking devices placed at the bottom of the aluminum reduction cell. The cathode choking devices are placed on surfaces of the cathode carbon blocks. The cathode choking devices are made of mullite, spinel or zirconite which is high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant and of high specific gravity. The cathode choking devices have a cross-section of semicircular, arc or streamline shape. The cathode choking devices have a height of 50-150 mm and a width of 100-300 mm. The cathode choking devices are elongated block-shaped. The cathode choking devices are placed in a direction along a long side of a cathode of the reduction cell, wherein one or more cathode choking devices are placed as a group.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of configuring energy saving high and low cathodes of an aluminum reduction cell, said method comprising disposing cathode carbon blocks and cathode steel rods at the bottom of the aluminum reduction cell, the cathode carbon blocks being formed by staggering high cathode blocks and low cathode blocks with different thicknesses. Both sides of the portion of each of the high cathode blocks higher than each of the low cathode blocks must be machined into bevels or arc angles, so as to achieve a good choking effect. The present invention can better improve the stability of molten aluminum-electrolyte interface within the aluminum reduction cell, decrease the polar distance effectively during normal production, and achieve a lower operating voltage of the reduction cell, thereby saving energy and reducing energy consumption.

Abstract: A method and a furnace for electrical calcination enables utilization of volatile matters of petroleum coke or anthracite during electrical calcination, i.e. conventional calcination or semi-graphitization. The furnace includes an anode, a cathode, and a furnace body. The furnace body includes an annular inner wall, an annular fume duct disposed circumferentially outside of the annular inner wall, an annular outer wall for heat preservation disposed circumferentially outside of the annular fume duct, and an air passage disposed in the annular outer wall. The air passage is in communication with the fume duct and outer atmosphere, respectively. An outlet opening for the volatile matters, in communication with a hearth of the furnace body, is disposed in the fume duct. The combustible volatile matters of the petroleum coke, anthracite, or other raw material are sufficiently utilized during electrical calcination, therefore the energy is saved and the environmental pollution is reduced.
