Abstract

Gas bubble behavior on a carbon anode in a cryolite melt has been studied by visual observation using a see-through cell. The bubble phenomena studied have included growth, coalescence, and detachment during electrolysis. Two different anode designs were tested, an anode with a horizontal facing-downwards surface and an anode with a vertical surface. At the horizontal anode, it was found that one large bubble was formed by the growth and coalescence of smaller bubbles, and finally, the large bubble detached periodically. For the vertical anode surface, many smaller bubbles were formed and detached randomly. The bubble diameter was decreasing with increasing current density for both anodes.
