Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for providing anode castings for the electrorefining step of an electrorefining process.

[0019] First, a method for preparing an anode 2 casting for the electrorefining step of a metal electrorefining process, such as copper, and some embodiments and variants thereof will be described in more detail.

[0020] A method for preparing an anode 2 cast for an electrorefining step of a metal electrorefining process, such as copper, comprises a providing step for providing an anode 2 cast for a metal electrorefining process.

[0021] The anode 2 may for example be provided from a casting facility arranged at the site where the method is used, or be transported from another site to the site where the method is used. The method can also be used in casting plants for casting anodes for metal electrorefining. This allows notification of possible defects of the anode at the casting facility before the anode is shipped to ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for the preparation of anode castings for the electrorefining process of metals. The method comprises the step of providing an anode (2) casting for a metal electrorefining process, and at least one imaging step of imaging the surface of the anode (2) with a three-dimensional object imaging device (1) to measure the surface quality of the anode (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of preparing anodic castings for the electrorefining step of an electrorefining process of metals. [0002] The invention also relates to an arrangement for the preparation of anode castings for the electrorefining step of the electrorefining process of metals. Background technique [0003] Final refining of several metals is performed by electrolysis. The refining process uses soluble anodes obtained by casting molten metal into anode moulds. It is natural for casting fins to be created on the edges of the anode and on the spot where the lifting pin hits when lifted from the bottom of the mould. In the case of prolonged use of the anode mold, a groove is often created in the bottom of the mold, this groove causing a corresponding ridge to form on one side of the anode. Lifting of the anodes on the conveyor belt can cause twisting in the lug section, so when lowered into the electrolytic cell, the anodes can...
