Application of Boron Oxide as a Protective Surface Treatment to Decrease the Air Reactivity of Carbon Anodes
The oxidation of a carbon anode with air and CO2 occurs during the electrolysis of alumina in Hall-Héroult cells, resulting in a significant overconsumption of carbon and dusting. Boron is well known to decrease the rate of this reaction for graphite. In this work, the application of boron oxide has...
