Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2862962A1] The present invention relates to an electrolyte for aluminum electrolysis and an electrolysis process using the electrolyte. The electrolyte in the present invention employs a pure fluoride salt system and is composed of the following components by mass percent: 20-29.9% of NaF, 60.1-66% of AlF 3 , 3-10% of LiF, 4-13.9% of KF and 3-6% of Al 2 O 3 , wherein the molar ratio of NaF to AlF 3 is 0.6-0.995; or the electrolyte is composed of the following components by mass percent: 30-38% of NaF, 49-60% of AlF 3 , 1-5% of LiF, 1-6% of KF and 3-6% of Al 2 O 3 , wherein the molar ratio of NaF to AlF 3 is 1.0-1.52. The electrolyte provided in the present invention has low liquidus temperature, good alumina solubility and high electric conductivity, and plays good roles in reducing energy consumption, enhancing current efficiency and improving working environment in the electrolysis process.
