A system for stripping electrolytically deposited zinc from relatively small size cathode sheets having a submerged or zinc plating area of approximately one square meter. A frame member is provided for supporting the cathode sheet holding arms which are mounted so as to permit the adjacently spaced sheets to move with respect to one another sufficient to facilitate mechanical stripping of the sheets. A water supply is further provided in the frame for washing the sheets prior to stripping. Once stripped, the sheet is lowered onto a conveyor which removes the zinc sheet from the frame area and stacks it adjacent one end of the frame.

Cathode stripping system

Hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of copper arsenate from zinc plant cement copper residues and the use thereof in the purification of zinc electrolyte, with the attendant upgrading of the copper value in the treated cement copper residues.
