Lead Anode

Fabrication of insoluble anodes for electrowinning (used in Copper and Zinc extraction industries)

The material for manufacturing insoluble anodes in the electrowinning industry plays a crucial role in enhancing current efficiency, reducing energy consumption and extending anode working life. The lead-antimony alloy is a traditional and widely used for this application. Additionally, the lead-tin-calcium alloy has emerged as a suitable alternative which offers higher performance.

In recent years, other lead-based alloys have been introduced for the production of soluble anodes in electrowinning under more challenging working conditions, attracting the attention of relevant industries. The desirable properties of these alloys have allowed them to establish their position in the extraction industries.

Arziz Sanat, with successful experience in alloy designing and processing these new lead-based alloys, is capable of producing high performance insoluble anodes for electrowinning. The table below lists some of the lead-based alloys processed by Arziz Sanat for the aforementioned applications. It is worth noting that this company can also produce insoluble anodes with alloy compositions tailored to any specific requirement.
