Improving the Performance of Lead Anodes in the Electrowinning of Copper. The aim of this project is the development of a fundamental understanding of the role of certain metal ions such as cobalt and manganese in modifying the electrochemical and corrosion performance of lead alloy materials used as anodes in the electrowinning of base metals such as copper, zinc and nickel.
The development of improved anodes will be of major benefit to the industry in terms of anode cost and particularly ener ....Improving the Performance of Lead Anodes in the Electrowinning of Copper. The aim of this project is the development of a fundamental understanding of the role of certain metal ions such as cobalt and manganese in modifying the electrochemical and corrosion performance of lead alloy materials used as anodes in the electrowinning of base metals such as copper, zinc and nickel.
The development of improved anodes will be of major benefit to the industry in terms of anode cost and particularly energy consumption. This project will lead to a better understanding of the performance of these anodes and could result in the design of improved anode materials and/or operating strategies.Read moreRead less
