The application discloses a method for
zinc electrodeposition in a low-concentration
manganese ion system, and realizes the effect of efficiently inhibiting
anode mud in the low-concentration
manganese ion system. The MnO2-based film generated in advance on the
anode surface is dense and firmly attached, can effectively isolate the
corrosion of the
electrolyte to the
anode, and reduces the generation of anode mud such as PbO2 and PbSO4; meanwhile, the low-
manganese electrolyte environment greatly reduces the excessive
deposition rate of MnO2, avoids the formation of a loose and falling layer, significantly reduces the anode mud deposition amount, and further reduces the anode mud yield. Therefore, the probability of the
cathode zinc product being polluted by the anode mud is reduced, and the product quality is guaranteed; the anode
corrosion is slowed down, the service life of the anode is prolonged, the
cell voltage loss is reduced, and the current efficiency is improved. The reduction of the anode mud deposition amount also significantly prolongs the anode cleaning period, improves the production continuity and the equipment
utilization rate. In addition, the low-manganese operation reduces the consumption of
manganese salt and the output of manganese-containing
solid waste, and the process economy and
environmental protection are significantly improved.
