Method of reducing the loss of carbon from anodes when producing aluminium by electrolytic smelting, and an inert anode top for performing the method

摘要

Carbon losses are reduced in that an operative anode carbon (5) is glued under a carbon core (1) in an inert anode top. The operative anode carbon ist almost completely consumed. The anode top is then cleaned and a new operative carbon is glued to its underside.
