• Effects of Water Cooling of Green Anodes on Anode Furnace Operation 

      Brandvik, Trond; Ratvik, Arne Petter; Grande, Tor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Water can be present in significant amounts in green anodes due to cooling with water after the forming process. The chemical environment in the pit can potentially be affected by the presence of water and may cause ...
    • Pitting on Carbon Cathodes in Aluminium Electrolysis Cells 

      Senanu, Samuel; Ratvik, Arne Petter; Grande, Tor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Uneven cathode wear is one of the key challenges for the lifetime of aluminium electrolysis cells. Here we report on autopsy of several potlinings with focus on the surface morphology of the carbon cathodes. The surface ...
    • Rheological Characterization of Pitch and Binder Matrix with Different Concentrations of Fine Particles 

      Mollaabbasi, Roozbeh; Hansen, Lene Jensberg; Barry, Thierno Saidou; Grande, Tor; Taghavi, Seyed Mohammad; Ziegler, Donald P; Alamdari, Houshang (Journal article, 2019)
      Green anodes consist of coarse coke particles surrounded by a binder matrix, which is a viscoelastic material and is made of fine coke particles and coal-tar pitch. During the compaction process, the coarse particles ...
