Abstract:
In order to study the effect of the cathode rods corrosion and the installed cathode rods sleeve on the electric field distribution, and the effect of new electrode structure on the electric field distribution, a traditional rare earth electrolysis cell 3-D model was established by ANSYS. After the cathode rod was corroded, the current was concentrated in the corrosion area, where current density is up to 2.4×106 A•m-2, a lot of Joule heat was generated and cathode corrosion was accelerated. In addition, the cell voltage of the external cathode protection sleeve increased by 90 mV and the embedded cathode protection sleeve increased by 150 mV as a result of the cathode protection sleeve is installed in different ways. The results showed that the electric field distribution of the bottom hemispherical cathode electrolysis cell is more even, which avoids local overheating of the electrolysis cell, and is beneficial to increase the current efficiency and service life of rare earth electrolysis cell. © 2020, Editorial Office of Journal of the Chinese Society of Rare Earths.
