摘要
As concerns grow about the role that perfluorinated carbon compounds (PFCs) play in global warming, the aluminum industry is voluntarily exploring ways of reducing the volumes of CF4 and C2F6 generated during Hall-Heroult electrolysis. As these gases are produced only during anode effects, which are undesirable for other production reasons as well, aluminum producers are aggressively examining ways to reduce the number of anode effects that occur as well as their duration.
