摘　　要：研究在LiCl-LiF-Li2CO3纯锂盐体系中下沉式铝液阴极槽结构电解生成铝锂中间合金的工艺过程,尤其是以Li2CO3为原料代替LiCl的电解过程。采用熔盐电解监控仪测量电解过程中的反电动势、槽电压、电流等工艺参数及电解波形图,通过电位控制法调节Li2CO3的加料周期,同时根据得到的合金产品中的锂含量探讨影响电流效率的因素。结果表明,反电动势随电流密度增加而增大,加入2%的Li2CO3可使反电动势降低0.5V;通过控制电位法测得加料周期为15min;在680℃、电流密度为0.62A/cm2的条件下持续电解3h,最终制得了锂含量高达7.93%的铝锂合金,电流效率可达74.1%。Al-Li master alloys were prepared using sinking-mode aluminum liquid as cathode and a mixture of LiCl-LiF-Li2CO3 as molten salt electrolyte in a laboratory cell. The electrolysis process with Li2CO3 as raw material instead of LiCl was studied in detail. The technological parameters such as back electromotive force, cell voltage, current and electrolysis waveform were measured by testing device of molten salt electrolysis. The period of Li2CO3 feeding was adjusted by the method of electric potential control. At the same time, the factor that affects current efficiency was discussed according to the lithium content of alloys obtained. The results indicate that back electromotive force increases with increasing current density and decreases by 0.5V after adding 2% Li2CO3, the feeding period is 15 min measured by the method of electric potential control. Finally, the A1-Li alloy with the lithium content of 7.93%（mass fraction） can be obtained by electrolyzing for 3 h at the current density of 0.62 A/cm^2 and at 680℃, and the current efficiency can reach 74.1%.
