A prebaked carbon anode (PBA) is a pre-manufactured, shaped carbon block used as the positive electrode (anode) in primary aluminium production via the Hall-Héroult electrolysis process. Unlike the older Söderberg continuous anode technology, prebaked anodes are fully manufactured and baked in dedicated carbon plants before installation in the electrolysis cell — hence the designation "prebaked".
