Electroanalytical Methods for Determination of Al2O3 in Molten Cryolite

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 26))

Abstract

The Hall-Héroult process, in which a melt of cryolite containing purified alumina up to ca. 6 wt. % is electrolyzed, is the principal basis for production of aluminum metal. The chemistry and electrochemistry of this process have been extensively studied; however, much remains to be understood about the reactions at the carbon anode, where oxygen or oxyfluoride anions are discharged with evolution of gaseous compounds, e.g., CO2, CO, and COF2.
