An oxygen pumping anode for electrowinning aluminium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chemical potential of oxygen ions at the novel oxygen pumping anode for electrowinning aluminum was manipulated by the electromotive forces to create thermodynamic stability. It is our anticipation that this newly designed anode can be applied to electrochemical metallurgy of other metals, such as the direct electrochemical reduction of TiO2 in the FFC process.

Local process investigations on composite electrodes: on the way to understanding design criteria for spray coated anodes in Zn electrowinning
This reaction is connected to high overpotentials, which are in Zn electrowinning about 800 mV, or 20–25% of the total cell voltage, and with that an equal amount of the total electrical energy1. Many attempts have been made to reduce the overpotential by introducing better catalysts. The main anode systems are nowadays all lead based1, which offer the best cost:value ratio for most of the indu...
متن کاملExperimental Validation of a Computational Fluid Dynamics Model of Copper Electrowinning
The hydrodynamics that occur in the space between the electrode plates in copper electrowinning (EW) are simulated using a computational fluid dynamics model (CFD). The model solves for the phases of gas oxygen bubbles and electrolyte using the Navier–Stokes equations in a CFD framework. An oxygen source is added to the anode, which sets up a recirculation pattern. The gradients in copper near ...
متن کاملDevelopments in electrode materials and electrolytes for aluminiumeair batteries
Aluminiumeair cells are high-energy density (<400 W h kg 1) primary batteries developed in the 1960s. This review shows the influence of the materials, including: aluminium alloy, oxygen reduction catalyst and electrolyte type, in the battery performance. Two issues are considered: (a) the parasitic corrosion of aluminium at open-circuit potential and under discharge, due to the reduction of wa...

The X-ray emission characteristics of a vacuum spark device operated with anode materials of various atomic numbers were studied. The temporal evolution of the X-ray emission was recorded by using five channels of high-speed PIN X-ray diodes. A time-integrated X-ray spectrometer was used to record the spectral distribution of the X-ray emission. The electron temperatures of the aluminium, coppe...
