Abstract

Carbon-containing components of cells for the production of aluminum by the electrolysis of alumina dissolved in a cryolite-based molten electrolyte are protected from attack by liquid and/or gaseous components of the electrolyte in the form of elements, ions or compounds, by a treatment composition which consists essentially of a solution of one or more phosphates of aluminum. The treatment composition may alternatively consist essentially of one or more phosphates of aluminum, and one on more colloidal carriers.
