Technical details and manufacturing context for Anode Plate

Definition
An anode plate is a consumable electrode component used in electrolytic refining and electrowinning processes for non-ferrous metals like copper, zinc, and lead. It serves as the positive electrode where oxidation occurs, dissolving metal ions into the electrolyte solution. These plates are critical for maintaining consistent current distribution and production efficiency in electrolytic cells. They are manufactured to precise specifications to ensure uniform dissolution and minimal contamination.
Working Principle
Acts as sacrificial anode in electrolysis, dissolving metal ions into electrolyte under electrical current
Common Materials
lead alloy, copper alloy, titanium substrate
Technical Parameters
  • Plate thickness (mm) Standard Spec
  • Maximum operating current density (A/m²) Standard Spec
