The progress seen in the technology of aluminium production during the last 20 years is based on a sound knowledge of the fundamental aspects. The purpose of the 3rd edition is to compile available data in a readily accessible form to facilitate further advances.
Like the previous editions, the present book attempts to give a comprehensive treatise of the theory of aluminium electrolysis, and in addition to treat pertinent industrial aspects, such as
- impurities,
- alumina,
- fluoride emissions,
- carbon,
- inert anodes
- and alternative processes.
The book will serve as a useful guide for anyone aiming to operate the Hall-Héroult process as efficiently as possible, trying to make further improvements to the process or developing new process alternatives.
