    Abstract:

    Physical-chemical properties of the molten salt system Na3AlF6-ExAlF3-5wt%Al2O3-CaF2-KF-LiF for aluminum electrolysis were investigated in this paper. The combined effects of ExAlF3, KF and LiF on the liquidus temperatures, alumina dissolution, aluminum solubility, electrical conductivity were discussed. A regression equation describing liquidus temperatures was derived. The effects of lithium fluoride and potassium fluoride on bath chemistry analysis were also discussed.
