Abstract
A lead anode for electrowinning cells in which the anode is in the form of rods reinforced with a core of titanium or other strengthening material.
Claims11
An anode for an electrowinning cell comprising a plurality of lead or lead alloy rods, characterised in that the rods are reinforced with a core of titanium or of a plastics material inert to the conditions surrounding, in use, the anode, and having a greater tensile strength than the lead or lead alloy of the rods.
In an electrowinning cell for winning manganese from a solution containing manganese ions, an anode comprising a plurality of lead or lead alloy rods internally reinforced with a core of titanium or of a plastics material inert to the conditions surrounding, in use, the anode, and having a greater tensile strength than the lead or lead alloy of the rods.
