Abstract
It’s offering replacement coal blocks of side potlining of electrolysis bath on silicon carbide slabs. Expediently to use silicon carbide blocks because they have the advantage of coal blocks: higher oxidation stability, higher real resistance, higher physical strength. Using these advantages in electrolysis baths renders possible: to reduce oxygen demand of side potlining surface; raise incorrodibility of side blocks on interracial metal-electrolytic conductor; to reduce saturation degree side blocks by fluorides from electrolytic conductor; to reduce current drain through the side potlining; to control skull degree growing superiorly. The result is following: increasing durability of electrolytic furnace without pot relining from 48 until 72 months.
