ABSTRACT:
The precipitated liquid metal in a cell for the electrolytic production of aluminum contains, with the exception of its uppermost, freely moveable layer, an electrically conductive granular material.
At least one trough containing molten electrolyte saturated with aluminum oxide is provided outwith the vertical projection of the anode or anodes. The top of the trough lies above the surface of the liquid metal, but is always at least partly below the surface of the electrolyte.
The direct electric current is conducted away from the molten metal by cathode elements which are wet by aluminum.
