This chapter discusses electrical energy consumption in aqueous electrowinning with a specific focus on cell voltage and current efficiency. It also presents potential improvements.
An electrowinning cell of novel design has been described by Treasure (2000).Named as EMEW R cell, it consists of a cylindrical in place of planar electrodes. The outer tube is the cathode and the inner one is anode. The diameters of the electrode tubes are sized according to the particular application to minimize cell voltage for a given solution chemistry.

17-04-2017· A lot of metals, especially non-ferrous metals, are hard to find in nature in their purest form. Usually, these metals are found in their mineralized forms, so they need to be reduced to their metallic forms for further usage. Electrowinning is both cost and energy-efficient way of doing this.
In electrowinning tests, copper deposits from the lead anode cell showed the presence of lead oxide. Furthermore, it was observed that, despite both mesh anodes (DSA 1 and DSA 2) exhibiting the lowest total energy consumption, they had the highest energy consumption per kilogramme of copper produced. The DSA 1 plate anode had the
