A lead anode for electrowinning cells in which the anode is in the form of rods reinforced with a core of titanium or other strengthening material.

Anode

Electrode, particularly an anode, for use in electrometallurgical cells in which the electrode is formed of two very thin sheets of titanium which are corrugated and arranged in a mirror image position, being spot welded where they touch each other and being spot welded to a titanium sheathed hanger bar. The electrode, which is particularly suitable as an anode, can be formed from very thin titanium and has enhanced stiffness resulting from the corrugations which strengthen the overall construction.

Two-layer corrugated electrode

An electrolytic cell, particularly one for use in the production of foil, in which the cathode comprises a rotating drum having a conforming anode spaced therefrom with a melded fibre interlayer. The interlayer remains stationary while the drum rotates over the fibrous surface, thereby breaking up the depleted barrier layer adjacent the cathode, avoiding arcing and reducing the tendency for the cathode deposit to grow in a modular manner.
