Abstract: The amount of electrically conductive material in the bottom floor lining of a conventional aluminum reduction cell is reduced by using a non-conductive lining material in its place. The non-conductive material separates the remaining electrically conductive regions from the sidewall linings of the cell and preferably confines the electrically conductive material to the "anode shadow" region of the cell floor. The non-conductive material preferably comprises a particulate alumina mixture made up of large shapes which firmly compact together and smaller particles which fill the remaining voids. Optionally, the mixture may be bonded together with amorphous alumina, in which case the mixture can also be used for cell wall linings. The linings can be used in reduction cells of conventional design and reduces undesirable magnetohydrodynamic effects as well as pollution hazards caused by conventional carbonaceous cell linings.

Abstract: The non-destructive testing of materials, particularly coarse grain materials such as the carbonaceous materials used in the anodes and cathodes of an aluminium smelting furnace, using longitudinal compression waves employs a waveguide to apply the waves to a specimen, the and specimen having a cross-sectional dimension Dg of between 3 and 5 times the material average grain size Dg. Alternatively, or in addition, the waves used preferably are of effective wavelength from about 30Ds to 50Ds. Alternatively, or in addition, the effective wavelength of the waves is preferred to be approximately equal to the length of the sample; the necessary very long samples may be obtained by connecting a plurality of smaller elementary samples end-to-end. The apparatus may include a controllable furnace for cycling the sample to determine the change with temperature of the physical characteristic that is being measured. The methods and apparatus employ relatively low frequencies, in the sonic range, and high powers; although particularly suited for measurements with coarse grain materials they are also very effective with more usual fine grain materials, such as ceramics.

Abstract: For heterogeneous materials such as refractories and carbon electrodes, the measurement the elastic properties of the material is difficult to achieve with high level of repeatability. The present invention is directed to a method and system for the elastic properties measurement of a material including the Elastic and Shear Modulus, as well as the Poisson's ratio of heterogeneous materials, at room and high temperature, according to a non destructive acoustic technique. The system comprises impacting devices for impacting a sample of the material so as to produce acoustic vibrations in the sample; acoustic detection devices so positioned relatively to the sample and the impacting device to capture the acoustic vibrations and to produce signals indicative of the acoustic vibrations; and a controller coupled to both the impacting devices and the acoustic detection device for controlling the impacting device, for receiving the signals from the acoustic detection devices and for using the signals to determine an elastic property of the material.

Abstract: A barrier layer for prevention of solid fluorides penetration, e.g. NaF, from the interior of an aluminum production cell holding a fluoride-containing melt into a refractory layer intended to provide heat and electrical insulation for the cell. The barrier layer contains CaO, which may be derived from a CaO precursor such as calcite (CaCO.sub.2) by decomposition during cell start-up. Since CaO does not appear to react with sodium fluoride (NaF), and indeed according to thermodynamic calculations seems incapable of doing so at cell operating temperatures, it is effective for preventing the penetration of that compound when the latter is in the solid state. The barrier layer makes it possible to use insulating low cost refractories which are attacked by solid fluorides in the cell wall lining with improvement of the life of such materials. The barrier layer also keeps fluorides out of the refractory materials so that these materials can be disposed of in conventional land-fill sites without risk of causing pollution due to leaching of fluoride salts.

Abstract translation: 用于防止固体氟化物渗透的阻挡层，例如， NaF，从含有含氟化物的熔体的铝生产单元的内部进入用于为电池提供热和电绝缘的耐火层。 阻挡层含有CaO，其可以通过细胞启动期间的分解从CaO前体如方解石（CaCO 2）衍生。 由于CaO不与氟化钠（NaF）发生反应，实际上根据热力学计算，在电池工作温度下似乎不能这样做，因此当化合物处于固体状态时，防止该化合物的渗透是有效的。 阻隔层使得可以使用在细胞壁衬里中被固体氟化物侵蚀的绝缘低成本耐火材料，同时改善这种材料的寿命。 阻挡层还将氟化物从耐火材料中保持，使得这些材料可以在传统的填埋位置处理，而不会由于氟化物盐的浸出而引起污染。
