Equipment introduction

Copper electrolysis equipment is specialized in copper electrolysis production, which is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry and other fields. The following is a detailed introduction of copper electrolysis equipment:

I. Equipment Overview

Copper electrolysis equipment mainly includes key components such as electrolyzer, rectifier, electrolyte circulation system, cathode and anode. These equipment can realize copper extraction and purification by reducing copper ions in the copper-containing electrolyte to metallic copper and depositing it on the cathode by electrochemical principles.

II. Main Components and Functions

1. Electrolyzer: Electrolyzer is the core component of copper electrolysis equipment, which is used to hold the electrolyte and carry out the electrolysis reaction. Electrolyzer is usually made of acid and alkali resistant, corrosion resistant materials to ensure long-term stable operation.

2. Rectifier: The rectifier is responsible for converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) to provide a stable current for the electrolysis process. Its performance directly affects electrolysis efficiency and product quality.

3. Electrolyte circulation system: The electrolyte circulation system is responsible for uniformly transporting the electrolyte into the electrolyzer and keeping the parameters such as concentration, temperature and flow rate of the electrolyte within a reasonable range. This helps to improve electrolysis efficiency and product quality.

4. Cathode and anode: The cathode is the deposition site for the reduction of copper ions to metallic copper and is usually made of inert materials such as stainless steel or titanium. The anode is used to provide copper ions and is usually made of solid copper-containing material (e.g. copper anode sludge).

III. Operating Principle

In the copper electrolysis process, the copper-containing electrolyte is introduced into the electrolyzer. When direct current is passed through the electrolyte, copper ions at the cathode receive electrons and are reduced to metallic copper, while copper at the anode is oxidized to copper ions in the electrolyte. Through continuous electrolytic reaction, metallic copper is gradually deposited on the cathode, forming copper plates or sheets.
