Mesh-on-Lead

ELTECH System Corporation has developed and patented a mesh-on-lead (MOL) anode for primary copper electrowinning operations. The MOL anodes have performance advantages relative to standard Pb-Ca-Sn anodes, including lower oxygen evolution overpotential, improved cathode quality, and minimized lead sludge generation. The addition of cobalt is eliminated because of stabilized lead substrate, and current efficiency is improved because of reduced short circuits [16],...
