Sažetak
Aluminium production by electrolysis is highly energy-intensive process. However, it is possible by recycling of the aluminium scrap to save significant amounts of energy and simultaneously contribute to the elimination of waste metal from the environment. Also, this process can be optimized by reducing consumption of natural gas, i.e. of the fuel that is required for aluminium melting, and in this way to contribute to the reduction costs. Statistical analysis of the parameters of the melting process, obtained by measurements over the series of the individual melts, allows defining a more efficient aluminium production process. A prerequisite for the creation of process statistics is that the total technological process of preparation of the melt in the furnace has to be divided into individual phases, or characteristic time periods. In this way it is possible to define, on the basis of the measured and calculated data from created energy balances, the parameters that characterize both a particular melt and the overall properties of the furnace. The carried out study consists of time, material, and energy analysis of certain periods in each of the investigated melts.
