Abstract
ABSTRACTA model for predicting anode cover behavior inside aluminum electrolysis cells is presented. The model predicts the transformation of anode cover material into a solid crust, the melting/solidification of the bath and crust, and the heat fluxes escaping the anode cover. The model is validated with experimental data taken on industrial electrolysis cells. The temperature and positions of the top crust, the heat flux escaping the anode cover, and the height of the cavity are presented, along with the model predictions. The effect of bath temperature on the crust formation is further investigated. Results show that the bath temperature can greatly enhance the rate of crust formation.
