PLANT FOR ELECTROLYTIC REFINING OF SILVER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: production of metals by electrolysis with dissolvable anode. SUBSTANCE: plant includes electrolytic bath, anode chamber with anode of black silver and current-feeding plate, cathode chamber with cylindrical cathode mounted for rotation about horizontal axis, chamber for anode slag with electrolyte and filter. It additionally has carriage mounted for movement towards cross-section of cathode that carries anode chamber. Cathode and anode chambers are fitted with powder dispensers. Chamber for anode slag and electrolyte is positioned under anode chamber. Current-feeding plate has through longitudinal slit. Powder dispenser of anode chamber is installed above through longitudinal slit and is equipped with cover. EFFECT: high output of finished product, reduced consumption of energy and labor input into process of electrolytic refining. 2 dwg
