METHOD OF MOUNTING SIDE LINING OF CATHODE DEVICE FOR ALUMINUM ELECTROLYZER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C25C3/08 

FIELD: aluminum production electrolyzers of all types.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes mounting the heat-insulating and refractory components of electrolyzer and applying protective material on base of covalent nitrides to surface of side lining. Used as protective material is boron nitride-based material which ensures reduction of after-start period, increases electrolyzer service life, enhances aluminum grade, increases yield by current and daily productivity of electrolyzer; protective material is applied flush with top in continuous layer. Lower boundary of coat is located below "electrolyte-metal" interface. Thickness of coat is maintained within 0.1-1 mm. Open surface porosity is maintained within 2-3%. Consistency of material of coat changes from fluid to viscous-flow state. Application of coat is performed by spraying, painting or concrete-spraying method.

EFFECT: increased service life of electrolyzer; increased daily productivity of electrolyzer.
