Abstract

One major process difficulty facing the operators of Hall-Heroult reduction cells for primary Aluminium productiong has been maintaining ledge stability throughout the life of the cell. Operational measures taken to manager sidewall overheating typically involve local cooling of the problem regions using a forced air manifold or a reduction in the cell production rate.
