RE:RE:More on inert anodesIndeed. The " baking" called sintering of the cermet anodes is done at very high temp using electric resistence furnaces under controlled atmosphere. After isostatic pressing. Thermal eff is > 90 %. Temperature uniformity and control is paramount for this operation. For heating and cooling. . Electrical resistance heating ideal for these reasons. GLTA.

Anode production, carbon or ceramic, still requires GREEN processing and baking, or else you still have the Indirect greenhouse gases..... But you knew that! Oh wait.... Boooo, pyro bad... Cheers

or you can believe Rio Tinto and Alcoa with their use of ceramic anodes...
INERT ANODES AT ALCOA... Gee but what would Rio Tinto and Alcoa know about aluminum production?
Pyrogenesis new VCR repair division....woo Hoo
and of course you pumpers will start spewing about how delivering facts is bashing...
