Electrolysis Equipment for Anode Copper Processing Refining

Product Description

Product Description

overview

Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, widely used in electrical wiring and components. The purification of copper, known as Copper Electro Refining, is a crucial recycling process. This method is performed on a large scale in industrial settings using large electrolytic tanks filled with copper sulfate solution. While other methods cannot eliminate all impurities, electrolytic refining can produce copper with a purity of 99.99%. Regardless of how copper is initially extracted from its ore, the final purification step is always done through electrolysis, ensuring high-quality, pure copper for various applications.

Copper Electrolysis Refining Plant

When direct current is applied, the copper from the anodes dissolves into the electrolyte, while precious metals like gold and silver remain undissolved, forming anode mud at the bottom. The dissolved copper then preferentially plates onto the cathodes, resulting in high-purity cathode copper (99.99%).

 

Copper Electrolysis Refining Tanks

Anode plates are suspended in the electrolytic refining tank, with pure copper cathodes positioned between them. As electricity flows, copper from the anodes moves into the solution and deposits on the cathodes. Impurities settle at the bottom of the tank.

Copper Anode Casting Machine

Copper anodes are semi-automatically cast into plates. The process begins with pretreating the copper to remove impurities like tin and lead, followed by smelting. After slag removal and reduction using natural gas to eliminate free oxygen, the final product is cast into anode plates.

Pure Copper Cathode Sheets

During electrolysis, copper ions migrate from the anode to the cathode, where they are periodically scraped off. Impurities, such as gold, silver, platinum, and tin, accumulate as anode slime at the bottom of the electrolyte solution.
