Enlarged laboratory skull electrolyzer with the current load up to 100 A for testing\u00a0novel electrolytes, electrode and construction materials as well as protection coatings of cathodes for primary aluminium electrolytic production has been developed and tested.<\/p>\n

Test electrolyzer provides the following areas of research:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) study of new cryolite-alumina molten salt stability during the aluminum electrolysis;<\/p>\n

2) detection of resistant salt skull formation conditions from \u00a0researched melts;<\/p>\n

3) study of electrode material durability at the electrolyzer start up and the following operation, study of the corrosion mechanisms and destructive processes of electrode materials under these conditions;<\/p>\n

4) study of protective coatings durability for electrolyzer and its accessory electrode and construction materials.<\/p>\n

Electrolyzer successfully withstood the 96-hours testing:<\/strong><\/p>\n
