Copper Electrolytic system

Lufeng is the design and equipment supplier of copper electrolysis complete system. It has provided design and related equipment for many copper smelters at home and abroad.

The purpose of copper electrorefining is to obtain high purity cathode copper and recover the associated rare and precious metals. More and more copper electrolysis is made of waste copper. Before electrolytic refining, the anode plate needs to be refined by fire to remove some impurity copper in the crude copper, and then cast into a copper anode plate for electrolysis.

The main equipment of the copper electrolysis system mainly includes: anode disc casting machine, anode shaping unit, residual electrode washing unit, cathode stripping unit, electrolytic cell, conductive copper bar, rectifier, anode slime treatment system, electrolyte preparation system, etc.

Lufeng has a mature design team, which can design the electrolysis workshop according to the specific project requirements of customers. Build a modern smelter with energy conservation, good economic efficiency and environmental friendliness for customers.

Copper ingot refers to the electrolytic purification of copper: crude copper (containing 99% copper) is pre made into thick plates as the anode, pure copper is made into thin plates as the cathode, and a mixture of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is used as the electrolyte. After being electrified, copper dissolves from the anode into copper ions and moves towards the cathode. Upon reaching the cathode, electrons are obtained and pure copper (also known as electrolytic copper) is precipitated at the cathode.2. Impurities in crude copper, such as iron and zinc, which are more active than copper, will dissolve with copper into ions (Zn and Fe). Due to the difficulty in precipitation of these ions compared to copper ions, adjusting the potential difference appropriately during electrolysis can avoid the precipitation of these ions on the anode. Impurities such as gold and silver, which are less active than copper, are deposited at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. The copper plate produced in this way is called "electrolytic copper" and has extremely high quality, which can be used to make electrical products. The sediment at the bottom of the electrolytic cell is called "anode mud", which is rich in gold and silver and is very valuable. It has extremely high economic value for extraction and processing.

  • scrap copper recycle machine system electroplating machine copper anode plate making plant machinePrinciples of Copper ElectrolysisThrough electrolysis of an electrolyte solution, crude copper is used as the anode, pure copper is used as the cathode, and a solution containing copper ions is used as the electrolyte. Copper dissolves from the anode and precipitates at the cathode. Impurities in crude copper do not dissolve, and inactive impurities become anode mud and settle at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. Although active impurities dissolve at the anode, they cannot precipitate at the cathode. So high purity copper can be obtained through electrolytic cathode.The copper electrolytic refining process was first applied in industry in 1896, with a history of 140 years. During this period, although the basic principles remained unchanged, significant progress was made in terms of technical equipment level, production scale, copper quality, and energy consumption reduction.

The disc supports the spindle mold and rotates. During the rotation process, signals are sent to the PLC through different proximity switches at different stages. The PLC sends instructions to pour out the lead water spindle mold and shape it. The disc rotates to the plate taking frame, and the proximity switch sends a signal to the PLC. The PLC sends instructions to the plate catching hook to automatically pick up the ingot and then transmit it to the conveyor belt. This plate catching hook has three hooks, and during one cycle of the disc rotation, The lead ingots are automatically picked up and transported to the conveyor belt in time and sections, forming an automatic flow process. The completion of this process mainly relies on the proximity switch providing different signals and the PLC setting different commands.1. Main use: This equipment is matched with a lead melting furnace, and the molten lead is pumped into a lead ingot quantitative pouring container through a lead pump. The lead water is then quantitatively poured into the mold, cooled by the mold, and turned into a standard lead resistance plate. Then, it is transported to the plate conveyor through an automatic plate pulling and flat plate device.2. Product composition: lead quantitative pouring device, disc rack, ingot mold, automatic plate pulling mechanism, flat plate mechanism, conveying and arranging plate transportation mechanism, and electrical control system.

Residual electrode washing is the process of cleaning the anode mud on the residue, cleaning the precious metal mixture on the residue before production, reducing the residual amount of anode mud on the residue, and bringing objective economic benefits to the enterprise. The residual electrode washing automation unit can quickly clean residual electrodes, efficiently and quickly, greatly improving the efficiency of copper electrolysis.

Impurities enter the anode mud or electrolyte, thereby achieving the separation of copper and impurities and producing cathode copper.
