Abstract:The construction and testing of a drained cell with TiB2/G graphitized cathode were described. The coke-bed baking method and a dry start-up technology were adopted. During 140 h of electrolysis the drained cell performed steadily at an anodic current density of 1.54 A/cm2 with a current efficiency of 86.5%. After electrolysis it was found that the TiB2 coating layer shows a low wear rate of 0.4 g/(h∙m2). Moreover, the overvoltage at different current densities is measured with an aluminum reference electrode by an interruption technique in the drained cell. The results can be depicted as a fairly straight line in a Tafel plot. The anodic overvoltage in the drained cell is close to the value in industrial cells, while the cathodic overvoltage in the drained cell is about 0.4 V higher than that in industrial cells at around 1 A/cm2, due to a stable molten Al layer and high molar NaF/AlF3 ratio of the bath close to the cathode.
