Key Features & Technologies

Copper Electrowinning

  • Anodes: Pb-based alloys with optimized silver/content ratios for enhanced service life
  • Cathodes: 316L stainless steel plates with copper-clad or steel-clad conductive bars
  • Insulation: Custom-designed insulators prevent short circuits and improve current distribution

Zinc Electrowinning

  • Anodes: Multi-element alloys (Pb-Ag-Ca-Sr-Re) achieving high current efficiency and reduced power consumption
  • Cathodes: Rolled A00 aluminum plates, 10-40 mm wider than anodes for optimized deposition
  • Construction: Welded duralumin conductive bars and flying rings with screw-fixed or welded red copper heads

Anode Plates

  • Copper Process: Pb-based alloys (Pb-Ag, Pb-Ca-Sn-Re, Pb-Ag-Ca-Sr-Re) with low corrosion rates and stable oxygen evolution performance
  • Zinc Process: Ternary and quaternary alloys (Pb-Ag-Ca, Pb-Ag-Ca-Sr) forming dense PbO₂/MnO₂ layers to minimize lead contamination and reduce energy consumption
  • Specialty: China’s first manufacturer of 3.2 m² large plates (1,715 × 940 × 8 mm) for high-capacity operations
