Title:
ELECTROLYTIC SMELTING INSTALLATION AND METHOD OF FEEDING ELECTROLYTIC SOLUTION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015040327
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolytic smelting installation capable of reducing the time for replacement work and the short circuit rate and a method of feeding an electrolytic solution.SOLUTION: An electrolytic smelting installation includes a plurality of electrolytic baths, a plurality of solution feed pipes 20 which feed an electrolytic solution to each of the electrolytic baths, a plurality of drainage pipes 30 which drain the electrolytic solution discharged from each of the electrolytic baths, a confluence drainage pipe 32 connected with the drainage pipes 30, and an on-off valve 40 which is provided on the downstream side of the connection of the drainage pipes 30 of the confluence drainage pipe 32. When the on-off valve is in the closed state, the electrolytic solution drained from an electrolytic bath 10 can be fed to another electrolytic bath 10 through the drainage pipe 30. As a result, the amount of the electrolytic solution fed to the electrolytic bath 10 increases, leading to reduction of the time for feeding the electrolytic solution and increase of the rate of temperature rise of the electrolytic solution. Electrification can thereby start early while reducing the short circuit rate, and the time for replacement work is reduced, leading to good operation efficiency.
