Copper Electrolysis Cell

Electrolytic cells, commonly referred to as electrolysis cells, electrolytic baths, electrowinning cells, or electrowinning tanks, play a crucial role in various industrial applications. In contemporary manufacturing, vinyl resin and silica sand are extensively used to construct these cells. As a result, electrolytic cells made from these materials are known as polymer concrete electrolytic cells or vinyl resin electrolytic cells.

Unlike traditional electrolytic cells, which typically utilize acid-resistant binder cement, polymer concrete electrolytic cells offer a longer service life and are easier to maintain and repair.

These advanced polymer concrete electrolytic cells have proven to be effective hydrometallurgical equipment for refining zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). They are widely utilized in countries such as Chile, China, India, Brazil, and Mongolia.

The incorporation of high-strength polymer reinforcing ribs in the construction of polymer concrete electrolytic cells significantly enhances their performance. These innovations lead to improved shrinkage stress management, reduced linear expansion, extended lifetime, minimized eddy currents, and superior strength compared to conventional cells made with acid-resistant binder cement. Consequently, the absence of eddy currents in the cell walls results in improved current efficiency, making polymer concrete electrolytic cells a preferred choice for modern industrial applications.

Compared with conventional electrolytic cell, main advantages:

Minimum stress concentration

Lower thermal stress

Less materials, little volume (light)

Less clean water and clean time

Easy to maintain and repair
