Abstract
A metal sulfate manufacturing system comprising an electrochemical dissolution system having, an anode electrode that holds metal raw material, a cathode electrode, an electrolyte bath having an inlet to receive an initial acid or metal-acid complex solution and an outlet to discharge the treated metal sulfate solution, stirring equipment that mixes the electrolyte bath, a temperature control system, and a rectifier that supplies current at constant voltage between the anode and cathode electrode.
Claims20
An electrochemical dissolution system for dissolving raw metal materials, comprising:
- an electrolyte bath container having an inlet, an outlet, a temperature control system, and configured to hold an electrolyte solution;
- a liquid permeable anode electrode disposed within the bath container;
- a cathode electrode surrounding the liquid permeable anode electrode;
- and
- a power supply electrically connected to the liquid permeable anode electrode and cathode electrode.
