This work aims to study the CO-CO2 gas composition at low potentials and low current densities in cryolite melt with relatively low alumina content (≤2 wt%). There is a scarcity of data in the literature regarding the low current density region and also for bath low in alumina. The experimental setup was constructed to minimize the back reaction as well as the Boudouard reaction. For potentials up to 1.55 V and corresponding current densities up to 0.07 A cm−2, it was found that CO is the dominant product. Between 1.55 and 1.65 V (corresponding current density region 0.07 to 0.2 A cm−2), CO2 becomes the dominant gas product. These potential values are probably slightly large due to suspected Boudouard reaction between CO2 and carbon particles in the melt formed by disintegration of the graphite anode. The results are discussed in relation to the literature data and thermodynamic calculations.
