摘要
It was primarily the improved understanding and control of magnetic fields, assisted more recently by the use of computer modeling, that made modern aluminum reduction cells more stable and has enabled them to grow larger. However, the implementation of improved process control systems has not only underpinned the success of new cell designs, but has also enabled many older technologies to remain competitive. While there is still much room for improving reduction-cell control systems, this task is increasingly difficult due to the diminishing performance gains available.
