The invention discloses a production method of high-purity electrolytic
copper powder. Firstly,
copper sulfate and
sulfuric acid are used for preparing an acidic
electrolyte, and a small amount of
chloride ions are added; meanwhile, according to the technical requirements of the
copper powder, some assistants are not added or a small amount of assistants are added into the solution, it is ensured that the sum of cation impurities of the
electrolyte is smaller than or equal to 10 ppm, a
diffusion boundary layer on the surface of the
cathode becomes extremely thin under the strong shearing force generated when the
cathode rotates at a high speed, copper ions can rush to the surface of the
cathode at an extremely high speed, and the copper ions can be directly sprayed to the surface of the cathode. And the
mass transfer is extremely strengthened. Therefore, the
system can operate at the
current density far higher than that of a traditional method, so that the preparation from the solution to the high-quality copper
powder is directly completed, the
reaction rate is extremely high, and the equipment productivity is improved. And the powder is stripped and coupled in one device from the cathode, so that the process is simplified, the
cell voltage is reduced, side reactions such as
hydrogen precipitation are inhibited, the current efficiency is improved, the operation cost is reduced, and the consistency and reliability of products are ensured.
