Inert Anode Metal Life in Low Temperature Reduction Process. Final Technical Report for September 17, 1998 through March 31, 2005.

DE2006841153

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Bradford, D. R.
Page Count	106
Abstract	This report summarizes Northwest Aluminum Technology's (NAT) accomplishments on Inert Anode Development under DOE Grant DE-FC36-98ID-13662 and identifies the additional research and development needs necessary to convert Low Temperature Inert Anode aluminum electrolysis into a commercially viable process. The report is divided into four major sections. The first section summarizes the results of the basic scientific research performed by Northwest Aluminum Technology's Seattle laboratories. The second section summarizes the progress achieved in continuing development activities performed at the Goldendale Aluminum and Northwest Aluminum primary reduction plants. The third section identifies the key elements of the DOE - Aluminum Industry jointly-developed Inert Anode Roadmap and compares these requirements to results achieved. The fourth section of the report identifies the developments that will be necessary to bring the process to commercial viability and the potential benefits in energy savings, environmental improvements, capital investment, and energy costs that may be achieved by successful development of the technology.
