Safety precautions for starting up the electrolytic cell

(1) Before turning on the power, all electromechanical equipment must be checked for safety and reliability. The equipment used must be in good condition. The raw materials must be fully prepared and fully preheated with permission.

(2) The alkali and cryolite materials must be mixed evenly to prevent electrolyte splashing and injuring people during startup.

(3) When loading the furnace, the guide rods and the busbars must be polished smooth to prevent the guide rods from scratching the busbars, causing them to be loose and causing a flow deviation at the anode.

(4) Before the shunt is removed, production personnel cannot touch the shunt with bare hands. When removing the shunt, operators must wear labor protection equipment to avoid burns.

(5) When adding cryolite and alkali, work steadily to prevent your feet from stepping into the tank and getting burned. Before adding alkali, the tank must be preheated to avoid explosions and electrolyte separation and injury.

(6) When salvaging carbon slag, do not let the carbon slag spoon touch the anode to avoid sparks.

(7) When pouring electrolyte, the operation should be balanced. Unrelated personnel must stay away from the chute to avoid electrolyte splashing and scalding accidents. The chute must be fully preheated before use.

(8) When pouring aluminum: the voltage must be raised in time to prevent the voltage from being raised too slowly, causing the electrolyte to flow out of the chute and break the anode soft belt busbar.

(9) When raising the voltage, there must be a dedicated person in charge. When pushing the material, be sure to stand firmly to prevent accidents.

(10) If the on-site personnel find any unsafe conditions in the equipment and operating position, they must immediately report to the on-site command personnel. Only after the danger is eliminated can the operation be continued.

(11) During the firing start-up process, if electrolyte leakage is found, do not panic. Use a water pipe to pour electrolyte until it is blocked before removing the water pipe. When using water, never let water enter the chute to avoid explosion.

(12) During startup, if electrolyte overflow is found, do not panic. First, use a baffle to block it to prevent the overflowing electrolyte from damaging the anode busbar, and then use cryolite to build a wall.

(13) During startup, if biased flow or broken guide rods are found, the anode should be hoisted out by the overhead crane in a timely manner. When replacing the hoisted anode, unrelated personnel should stay away from the scene to avoid burns. When installing the new anode, the new anode should be fully preheated to avoid other accidents.
