Optimization device and system for metal electrodeposition

Abstract

Optimization device for metal electrodeposition covering the entire range of metal electrodeposition from a minimum current density to a maximum current density, the optimization device having a plurality of openings over its entire surface that maximize the free passage of the electrolyte flow without altering the electrodeposition process and straighten the electrodes, according to the present invention, the current in the electrode installed in the electrolytic tank is uniformly distributed, which results in the generation of the cathode with high-quality uniform deposits, and the current loss caused by the short circuit between the anode and the cathode is avoided, thereby improving the current efficiency of the system. The device includes a single body having a robust skeleton structure formed from different body sections, at least one body section including a sloped sidewall.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to an optimized system for metal electrodeposition capable of operating over a wide range of current densities from lowest to highest, preferably during electrolysis. [0002] The system consists of optimized devices with multiple openings across their entire surface, which facilitate the passage of metal-rich electrolytes, thereby promoting the electrodeposition of metals in the anode region where the devices are located, obtaining uniform deposits with metal cathode. Furthermore, the device seeks to straighten and separate the anodes as much as possible. [0003] The system comprises at least one electrodeposition optimization device, preferably plastic, which improves the uniform distribution of the current in the electrodes, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system current and avoiding current losses due to short circuits. In this way, the anodes last longer in operation, improve the physical quality of the ov...

Problems solved by technology

[0015] As mentioned above, devices known in the prior art can partly solve the problems caused by the deformation of the anode plate, i.e. maintain a rigid and fully vertical anode while having an equidistant spacing between the anode and the cathode, avoiding the influence of Short circuit and nodule formation for quality and yield of electrodeposited electrodes
