Abstract
The invention relates to an anode used in the electrolytic refining of copper, said anode (1) comprising two support parts (2), whereby the anode (1) is suspended during the electrolytic process against the electrolytic tank walls. According to the invention, in the anode support parts (2) there are formed brackets (3) for gripping the anode (1) and for supporting the anode (1) when it is being transferred from one position to another.
Claims4
An anode for the electrolytic refining of copper, said anode (1) containing two support parts (2), by which the anode (1) can be suspended during the electrolytic process against the electrolytic tank walls, characterized in that when casting the anode (1), in the anode support parts (2), there are formed brackets (3) for gripping the anode (1) and for supporting the anode (1) when transferring it from one position to another, so that the end (4) of the bracket (3) that points away from the support part is located essentially at the same height as the end (5) of the support part (2) that points away from the anode.
