Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolysis in an electrolytic refining workshop of the nonferrous metallurgical industry, and in particular to an electrolytic cell loading and unloading integrated system and an electrolytic cell loading and unloading control method. Background Art

[0002] In the hydrometallurgical electrolysis process of nonferrous metallurgy, electrolyte is input into the electrolytic cell, anode plates and cathode plates are suspended in parallel in the electrolytic cell, direct current is supplied, and metal is deposited on the cathode plates. After the electrolysis is completed, the cathode plates need to be taken out for cleaning or stripping of deposited metal, and the anode plates need to be taken out for cleaning or removal of anode mud. If it is a permanent anode, the treated anode is reloaded into the tank; if it is a non-permanent anode, the treated anode is packaged and exported, and the reserved new anode is loaded into the tank.

[0003] The current layout process of metal purification electrolysis equipment is to arrange cathode treatment units and anode treatment units in the middle or at both ends of the electrolysis plant, arrange special crane slings at an elevation of about 10m in the electrolysis plant, and lift the cathode or anode in the electrolytic cell through the crane sling to transport multiple plates such as a whole cell, half cell or one-third cell of the cathode or anode to the units fixedly arranged in the plant, so as to carry out cathode plate or anode plate processing operations.

[0004] However, cathode treatment units and anode treatment units need to occupy a large amount of plant land, and the installation of special hoists needs to increase the height of the plant, increasing investment costs and construction costs. In addition, since the electrolytic plant is long, the material transportation path is long and the cost is high. In addition, when special hoists are used to lift cathode plates or anode plates, if the entire cell is lifted out, the power supply of the entire electrolytic cell needs to be cut off. If half or one-third of the cathode plates or anode plates are lifted, in order to balance the current, ensure safety and ensure product quality, the current of the entire electrolytic cell needs to be reduced for operation, thereby reducing the cell operation rate.

[0005] Therefore, the above arrangement method has high investment cost, high logistics cost and low tank operation rate. Summary of the invention
