A study of anodic slime behaviour in the electrorefining of copper

The kinetics of anode slime formation and propagation were studied in a laboratory-scale copper electrorefining apparatus. Laser-based illumination and digital image processing of videotaped records of slime movement, combined with current/time monitoring and polarization experiments, provide quanti...

More Information
Summary:The kinetics of anode slime formation and propagation were studied in a laboratory-scale copper electrorefining apparatus. Laser-based illumination and digital image processing of videotaped records of slime movement, combined with current/time monitoring and polarization experiments, provide quantitative information about the complex interaction between characteristic parameters of the copper electrorefining process.
