The temperature of the electrolyte in the cell of this invention preferably is controlled by the introduction and circulation of cooled electrolyte into the cell. [More]

WHAT IS ELECTROPLATING? Electroplating is the process of coating one metal or metal object with a very thin layer of another metal, typically by applying a direct electric current. This partially dissolves the metals and creates a chemical bond between them. The coating applied by electroplating is usually around 0.0002 inches thick. By creating a chemical bond, the plating is a permanent addition to the surface of the base metal. This means that it will not naturally fall off or separate. Howev... [More]

HOW ELECTROPLATING WORKS Mechanically attach gold to other metals through heating metals and placing them together then rapidly cooling the combination. This was hammered into shape for statues, books and many other artifacts. Modern gold plating, called gold electroplating, relies on a chemical process to combine various layers of metal into a solid piece with a layer of gold resting on the surface. Electroplating has been in use commercially since the 1840s and was heavily refined during the t... [More]

1. What are electrically conductive solutions? Electrically conductive solutions are solutions that are formed when an electrolyte is dissolved in a polar solvent, for example water. When the electrolyte is put into a polar solvent, it is dissolved into negatively charged anions and positively charged cations. When a direct current is applied to the solution, the anions are drawn to the positively charged electrode (or anode) and cations are drawn to the negatively charged el...

1. What is electrowinning? Electrowinning is a process in which metal ions present in an electrically conductive solution are separated using a direct current. This is achieved when a direct current is applied across an anode and cathode that are submerged in an electrically conductive solution causing the metal to deposit on the cathode. We say that metals like these were electrowon.   2. Is it possible to improve the electrowinning process? Luckily advances in ele... [More]

The electrode is shown as having a simple rectangular shape, but it will be understood that the electrode is not limited to such a configuration, but may have any configuration suitable for the electrolysis apparatus in which the electrode is to be used. Furthermore... [More]

  Anodes Platinized Titanium anodes take advantage of the low consumption rate and high current density. Voltages in excess of 10 Volts will result in severe pitting of the titanium core causing premature failure. Platinized Niobium / Tantalum anodes also take advantage of the properties of platinum, but avoid the low driving voltage restriction of Platinized titanium anodes. Breakdown of the niobium oxide film occurs at approximately 120 Volts. Thus these anodes are used where high... [More]

The platinum surface is preferably deposited by an electroplating operation whereby a thin fixed coating of platinum covers the entire surface of the unit. The electrodeposition may be carried out, for example, by using a bath consisting of 4.5 grams of platinic chloride and 22 milliliters of 37% hydrochloric acid dissolved in 2800.... [More]

Refurbishment include recoating, rebuilding the standoff and / or replacement, depending on the condition of the Electrolyzers. Refurbishment time is only 2-4 weeks. Low current output, damaged standoffs, leaking seals or damaged mounting threads are the symptoms of refurbishment. [More]
