Abstract

Barry Welch is well recognized for his contribution to advancing the science and practice of smelting Alumina to Aluminium Metal. He has also made a significant contribution to advancing anode technology, in particular through the work of his students. This is explored further in an accompanying paper. What is probably less well recognized are the significant challenges and opportunities Barry has laid out to anode producers to improve anode quality to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of the Potlines customer. These challenges and opportunities will be outlined and their potential impact described.
