Carbon anode oxidation is a hidden yet costly problem in aluminium smelting, affecting energy consumption, pot stability, anode life and emissions. This webinar deep-dives into nano-ceramic anti-oxidation coating technology for carbon anodes, validated through long-term industrial trials in high-amperage potlines.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of the technology, its performance impact and the measurable operational and economic benefits achieved in commercial aluminium smelters.
Declining availability of high-quality calcined coke and rising cost pressures have pushed smelters to use high-sulphur and high-vanadium cokes, resulting in poorer anode quality and lower oxidation resistance. This leads to excessive carbon residues in the bath, unstable pot operation, higher power consumption and reduced current efficiency.
To address these challenges, anode coating technologies, particularly nano-ceramic-based anti-oxidation coatings, have been extensively tested and deployed in China.
This webinar explains how this technology works and why it delivers tangible results at scale.
