Effect of Anode Geometry on Bubble-Driven Transport, Recirculation, and Mixing in Aluminum Electrolysis
Gas-evolving electrodes generate buoyancy-driven flows that control gas removal, liquid-phase transport, and mixing in many electrochemical and metallurgical reactors. In Hall–Héroult aluminum electrolysis cells, these processes occur beneath carbon anodes, where bubble accumulation, detachment, and transport influe...
