In the production of the primary aluminum, waste gases occur as a byproduct in electrolytic cell. Such gases are drained to the Gas Treatment Centre by degassing system where, before discharging into the atmosphere, are purified by adsorbing to the active surface of alumina (Al2O3). Gases enriched alumina is, by pneumatic transportation, returned to electrolytic cell. When performing operations on the cell, such as anode replacing and aluminum tapping from the cells, these gases are emitted into the electrolysis hall, which directly affects the environment and the health of employees. Thus, the purpose of this work is to increase the vacuum in the cells exhaust system in order to reduce emissions into the electrolysis hall during performance of the aforementioned operations, with minimal investment and utilization of existing resources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
