Copper Electrowinning
Tenova Avanced Technologies (TAT) provides services and proprietary equipment, as well as complete circuit packages for Electrowinning (EW) sections of metal recovery plants for the mining industry.
TAT designs Tankhouses of all sizes, from those for small operations to large-scale, manual and automated systems
Overview
TAT offers differentiated, project-specific process technologies based on decades of research, equipment design and project execution. Advanced solutions include solvent extraction (SX) and electrowinning (EW) for the mining and chemical industries, membrane circuits, in-house state-of-the-art R&D facilities, expertise in minerals beneficiation as well as phosphate processing from ore to purified phosphoric acid and salts.
TAT designs EW Tankhouses of all sizes, based on both manual and automated systems. The Copper EW packages supplied by TAT include TAT’s Crossflow Electrolytic Cell (“TENOCELLTM”) and the anode double contact bus bar (“TENOBARTM”)
Technical Data
TENOCELLTM
TAT’s redesigned cells provide an improved flow pattern around each cathode resulting in improved cathode quality. The design also accommodates a close capture ventilation system, providing a safe working environment which is particularly important in the design of copper electrowinning circuits.
Innovation
TENOBARTM
TAT designed its owned intercell bus bar system in order to enhance the current distribution and efficiency through the EW cell and optimizing the copper weight required decreasing thus its cost. The TENOBARTM consists in the addition of an equalizing bar permitting the double contact on the anode and therefore:
- Decreases stray currents
- Increases the anode life
- Increases copper quality.
- Decreases electrical energy consumption
