Abstract
GASEOUS products of an aluminum reduction cell consist mainly of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Sulfur dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen sulfide have also been conc~usively identified. Carbon tetrafluoride has been observed only during the period when the anode is polarized.' This period, known as anode effect, occurs when the alumina content of the molten bath approaches depletion.= Increased resistance at the polarized anode results in a voltage rise from a normal 5 volts to as
