Acid Mist Suppression in Copper Electrowinning In the electrowinning of copper process, immersing metal cathodes and inert conductive anodes are employed in an aqueous solution of copper sulphate containing free sulphuric acid (CuSO4-H2SO4-H2O electrolyte). An electrical potential is applied between the anodes and cathodes, and pure metallic copper is generated from the electrolyte onto the cathodes. Copper is electrodeposited on the cathodes for about one week, after which harvesting is done while water dissociates into hydrogen i

What is the Purpose of Counter Electrodes in Electrochemical Reaction? Most electrochemical methods involve the use of three electrodes; namely the working electrode (WE), reference electrode (RE), and the counter electrode (CE) which is also called the secondary or auxiliary electrode. The three electrodes are connected to a potentiostat /galvanostat, which is an instrument that can perform both controlled potential (potentiostatic) and controlled current (galvanostatic) experiments. The potential drop near the other current-carry

What Factors Affect the Lifespan of A Water Heater? The local water quality is one of the factors that contribute most significantly to the performance and longevity of water heaters. Specifically, highly alkaline water will lead to the accumulation of scale, which will impact the efficiency of tankless and gas storage water heaters and can lead to decreased water hater life. Conversely, soft water increases the risk of corrosion, which can decrease equipment life by more than half if not properly mitigated. Increasing the lifetime

How Do Anode Rods Work in a Water Heater? According to electrochemical principles, when two different metals are immersed in water the active one will corrode away to protect the less active metal. The anode rod is made from metal with a more active voltage and higher electrochemical potential than the metal of the tank, which is typically made from steel. This means the anode rod’s metal will give up electrons and corrode before the tougher steel metal of the tank will. As this lesser metal corrodes, electrons are distribute
