Benefits of technology

[0015]The most important advantage of the invention, as compared with the state of the art, is that the characteristics of the system and device cause the increase of production and quality of the cathodes harvested by 3% to 5%, as well as an increase in the efficiency of current of at least 2%, added to the extension of the useful life of anodes by at least 20%, which are factors with high incidence on electrodepositing.
[0016]For a better explanation of the invention, a description will be provided for a preferred embodiment with respect to figures, where:

Example

[0029]The present invention consists in a stiffening device and its incorporation to a stiffening system allowing to stiffening and keeping an anodic plate straight in its whole extension, while allowing keeping equidistant separation along the whole anode with respect to adjacent cathodes. Said system and device allows to reducing the formation of nodulations in the electric cathodes deposited by avoiding the formation of short-circuits originating in the reduces separation between anode and cathode, in addition to increasing the useful life of anodes by preventing their strain from the on-going degradation they are subject to during the operation in the electrolytic means.

[0030]FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the stiffening system incorporating stiffening devices 2, two in particular, installed on the side 5 of an anodic plate 1 along most of the extension of said sides 5, covering at least 50% of the extension of said side or preferably between 50 and 100% of said sides, where in a...

Abstract

An electrode stiffening device that avoids the occurrence of short-circuits produced between anodes and cathodes during electrodepositing processes, wherein said device comprises a rigid monolithic body of side inclined walls configuring a triangular-shaped cross-section that is wider in its rear portion, where said side inclined walls join in the front portion of the device, forming a fit area arranged to receive the peripheral edge of an electrode tightly, preferably of an anode and making it stiff in its whole extension and separating it from the adjacent electrodes.

Description

[0001]This application refers to an anode straightening, separating and stiffening system, including at least a stiffening device, preferably plastic, that improves the quality and increases the production of metallic cathodes obtained from electrolytic processes, thus avoiding the short-circuits that influence on the formation of nodulations on the cathode surface. In addition, said system and device installed along the sides of each anode increases the efficiency of the electric current and extends the time of use of anodes, thus settling part of the issues existing in the electrolytic processes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is known that during the electrolytic processes to produce metallic cathodes, for example by electrolytic refining and electro-winning, anode plates are used, which are initially flat, straight or vertical. Said anodes, mainly manufactured in lead or in any other proper material for the process, undergo degradation due to the corrosive action of the hot ...
