Operation of an industrial pilot plant for copper electrorefining with the ‘support-anode’ system

摘要: The authors have developed a system of refining copper scrap that has some advantages over conventional processes. Scrap originates in remnants or trimmings from objects manufactured with the metal (wire, tubes, sheets, etc.). Traditionally, is conducted via successive pyrometallurgical and electrochemical subjected to smelting treatment furnaces various types several stages produce cast anodes. anodes are finally refined by means classic process electrolytic refining, resulting production high-purity cathodes.
