Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An electrolysis cell producing metals needs to add an accurate amount of feed stock (like alumina) to the cell, and as an effect of the reaction taking place in the cell, one needs to extract the product (like aluminium) and remove any waste product (like HF and CO2). In order to cool the cell properly and to ensure collection of all the effluents from the cell, which is not gas tight, a normal suction is about 100-150 times more ambient air than gas volume produced by the cell. The present invention relates to the principles of how one can extract a more CO2- concentrated flue gas from the cell than is standard procedure in the aluminium industry today, by means of distributed pot suction (DPS) devices. In one embodiment the DPS can be integrated with a feeder having a breaker bar for feeding raw material to the cell. Heat energy can be extracted from the hot flue gas.
