RECENT IMPROVEMENT IN PASTE PLANT DESIGN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION AND RESULTS.

Abstract

Aluminium Pechiney's objective of optimising its primary aluminium production facilities in terms of product quality and cost-effectiveness applies directly to the manufacture of prebaked anodes. In this paper, this policy has been illustrated by the examples discussed in connection with the green anode production process. Finally, Aluminium Pechiney can claim to have built up very considerable expertise as regards the raw materials and the baking process able to guarantee a high-quality anode. Examples of the commercial application of Aluminium Pechiney know-how to the production of prebaked anodes are to be found in the plants designed and built in recent years.
