Brief description of the drawings
In order to help to understand the present invention and those skilled in the art can be tried out the present invention, in the mode as example only, preferred embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to accompanying drawing.
Figure 1A to Fig. 1 C illustrates the metal that uses according to one embodiment of present invention magnetic apparatus to separate electrolytic deposition from negative electrode order.
Embodiment
Magnetic apparatus 100 is used to peel off from negative electrode 200 metal 210 of electrolytic deposition, as shown in the diagram of Fig. 1.
Magnetic apparatus 100 can be any shape or size, but the about size and dimension identical with negative electrode 200 preferably.Alternatively, the size of magnetic apparatus 100 can be less than negative electrode 200, and magnetic apparatus is removable in operation, to be positioned proximate to successively negative electrode 200 All Rangeses.
Magnetic apparatus 100 can be permanent magnet or electromagnet.Preferably magnetic apparatus 100 is electromagnets, thus magnetic field can be cut off or reversed polarity with allow adhere to metal be released.Alternatively, after permanent magnet can be placed in surface, thereby make the magnetic field that generated by permanent magnet by metal adhesion on surface.In the time that permanent magnet is removed after surface, anyly adheres to surperficial metal and be all released.
The intensity in the magnetic field being generated by magnetic apparatus 100 is selected as enough separating from negative electrode 200 metal of deposition.
Metal deposition (process is not shown) on negative electrode 200 is started from negative electrode 200 to immerse the step in the electrolyzer of the solution that comprises the metal ion that comprises dissolving.Apply electric current via negative electrode 200 and corresponding anode to solution, this by electrolytic reduction metal ion so that pure metal is deposited on negative electrode 200.
This process can, for segregation and the various metals of purifying, comprise cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc.Negative electrode 200 is made up of conducting metal (being often stainless steel), and can be sheltered by the cover strip 220 on edge.Alternatively, negative electrode 200 can be divided into the conductor metal island being surrounded by non-conductive material, thereby makes the metal of deposition form instead of form single sheet (not shown) by part.
After the metal of q.s being deposited on negative electrode 200, negative electrode 200 is removed from electrolyzer, and moves to stripping area.
In the time that negative electrode 200 is just being stripped from the metal 210 of deposition, peg 230, supporting structure (not shown) or its combined support that negative electrode 200 is attached.
As shown at Figure 1A, magnetic apparatus 100 is placed in and approaches negative electrode 200, thereby makes negative electrode in operation, approach the magnetic field being generated by magnetic apparatus 100, thereby makes the metal 210 of deposition stand the magnetic field force being generated by magnetic apparatus 100.
In the situation that negative electrode 200 is equipped with edges cover bar 200, edges cover bar 220 from negative electrode 200 towards outstanding.In this case, avoid metal 210 or the cathode plane 240 of magnetic apparatus 100 contact depositions.This just provides the advantage of being avoided magnetic apparatus 100 to cling to cathode plane 240.
In a preferred embodiment, placed two magnetic apparatus 100, each of negative electrode 200 approaches a magnetic apparatus 100.
When magnetic apparatus 100 approaches negative electrode 200(as shown in Figure 1B) and magnetic field while being activated, the metal 210 of deposition moves from negative electrode 200, and preferably adheres to magnetic apparatus 100.
Alternatively, continue the relatively short burst length to impose pulse with the magnetic field that large electric current carrys out magnetotropism equipment 100, to separate the metal of deposition from negative electrode 200.Preferably, magnetic apparatus 100 is subjected to pulse at least twice.
In this embodiment, negative electrode 200 is positioned in encloses container etc., so that the metal of deposition can be assembled.
In a preferred form, the relatively short burst length that continues the 45ms time length imposes pulse with the relatively high electric current of about 1500000 amperes to magnetic apparatus 100.
In a preferred form, two magnetic apparatus 100 of electromagnets are positioned on the either side of negative electrode 200 and approach negative electrode 200 in operation, and with the electric current of about 1500000 amperes, each magnetic apparatus 100 is imposed to pulse with the pulse of 45ms.
Once the metal 210 of deposition has adhered to magnetic apparatus 100, removes negative electrode 200, from magnetic apparatus 100 as shown at Fig. 1 C.Then the polarity of reversion or deexcitation magnetic apparatus 100, thus the metal of deposition is discharged from magnetic apparatus 100 and the people's reception funnel that falls, drop on the first-class (not shown) of travelling belt.
Alternatively, the metal 210 of deposition shifts from negative electrode 200 in certain embodiments, and Direct precipitation is in being oriented to the container etc. of the metal of capturing deposition.In these embodiments, the metal of deposition is not magnetically positioned on the surface of magnetic apparatus 100.
Cathodic disbonding method of the present invention does not need negative electrode bending or any physical contact between peel-off device and negative electrode.The physical force of any damage of any non-conducting material that therefore can cause anticathode 200 and exist is not applied on negative electrode 200.This can reduce running cost, as " life-span " of each negative electrode 200 can significantly increase., when compared with the negative electrode of peeling off by standard physical method, each negative electrode 200 can be reused many many number of times before at the face (resurface) of need to reforming.
The metal of removing deposition is quick and simple, and does not need to have the machine of a lot of movable parts, pressurized air etc.Because the metal being stripped from keeps adhering to magnetic apparatus until magnet polarity is inverted, the metal that therefore can control simply strip operation and be stripped from.
Run through specification sheets, object is to describe the present invention, but not the present invention is limited to the concrete set of any one embodiment or feature.Those skilled in the art can realize multiple amendments by specific embodiment, and it will still fall within the scope of the present invention.For example, for strip operation, negative electrode 200 is approached to magnetic apparatus 100 or magnetic apparatus 100 is approached to negative electrode 200 both are arbitrary.
Should be understood that and can, in the situation that not deviating from the spirit and scope of the present invention, make various other changes and amendment to described embodiment.
