CATHODE SHELL OF ALUMINIUM ELECTROLYTIC CELL Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C25C3/08 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrolytic production of aluminium, namely, to design components of aluminium electrolytic cells. The cathode shell bath consists of longitudinal and end walls tied with one another using the bottom. The metallic bath is installed inside of a rigid frame formed by ribs. The longitudinal walls of the bath have windows for leading cathode rods out. The distance from the centre of no more than 6 outermost windows for leading cathode rods out to the cathode shell wall, in the direction of the closest end wall, is 0.55-0.8 of the width of the windows for leading cathode rods out in the central part of the longitudinal wall.

EFFECT: obtaining aluminium.
