铝电解用NiFe2O4-10NiO基金属陶瓷惰性阳极的耐腐蚀性能

制备铝电解用NiFe2O4-10NiO基金属陶瓷惰性阳极，并在实验室电解槽中考察其电解腐蚀性能。结果表明，电解过程中虽然惰性阳极在960°C熔盐电解质中表现出优异的耐腐蚀性能，但采用XRD、SEM/EDX和金相分析其物相组成和微观结构后发现，电解后阳极中的金属相发生了优先腐蚀，在阳极表面产生大量孔洞。NiFe2O4相中的 Fe 元素的优先溶解可能导致 NiFe2O4晶粒的不均匀腐蚀。溶解在电解液中的 Al2O3与阳极中的 NiO 或FeO 发生反应生成的 NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4相对 NiO 相的吞并以及体积膨胀，阳极表面形成致密的NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4保护层。因此，致密的NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4保护层可以阻挡阳极表面金属相的损失和陶瓷相的腐蚀。

Corrosion of NiFe2O4-10NiO-based cermet inert anodes for aluminium electrolysis

NiFe2O4-10NiO-based cermet inert anodes for aluminium electrolysis were prepared and their properties were investigated in a lab-scale electrolysis cell. The results show that the inert anodes exhibit good performance during electrolysis in molten salt cryolite at 960 °C, but according to the analyses of phase compositions and microstructures through XRD, SEM/EDX and metallographic analysis, the metal in the anodes is preferentially corroded and many pores are produced on the anode surface after electrolysis. The preferential dissolution of Fe in the NiFe2O4 phase may lead to the non-uniform corrosion of NiFe2O4 grains. Moreover, a dense protective layer of NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4 is formed on the anode surface, which originates from the reaction of Al2O3 dissolved in the electrolyte with NiO or FeO, the annexation of NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4 to NiO and volume expansion. Thus, the dense NiFe2O4-NiAl2O4-FeAl2O4 layer inhibits the metal loss and ceramic-phase corrosion on the surface of the cermet inert anodes.
