Negative electrode and negative electrode formation method
The application is the application number submitted for 09th for 03 month for 2011 is 200980135203.9, and denomination of invention is the divisional application of " negative electrode and negative electrode formation method ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of negative electrode for metal ion electrolysis, and a kind of negative electrode formation method.Particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a kind of negative electrode being particularly useful for cobalt ion or nickel ion electrolysis from solution.
Background technology
By the metal ion electrolysis in solution to obtain solid metal product, it is a kind of known technology for separating out relatively pure metal.In metal ion solution, put into solid state cathode, and apply electric current to this negative electrode, the galvanic deposit of metal then negative electrode can occur.Regularly the metallic product of negative electrode and attachment is removed from solution.Then, solid metal product is peeled off from negative electrode, and ideally, anticathode recycles.Material for negative electrode has suitable electroconductibility, deposits to enable metallic product.In addition, the material of negative electrode makes metallic product easily to remove from negative electrode, and metallic product can not be separated prematurely.Preferably, adopt the negative electrode of robustness (robust), such negative electrode can stand the circulation depositing and peel off repeatedly, and is only needing anticathode to carry out minimum process between circulation each time.
Galvanic deposit due to cobalt metal has intrinsic high internal stress, and therefore the galvanic deposit of cobalt metal is particularly difficult.If cobalt galvanic deposit, on the stainless steel billet of standard flat studding with insulation edge strip of a slab (edge strips), can cause cobalt metal sheet to have prematurely from the trend that negative electrode is separated.If remove insulation edge strip of a slab, cobalt metal, at negative electrode surrounding growth, which solves the problem of metal from premature disengagement negative electrode.But cobalt metal is more difficult to be removed from negative electrode, and negative electrode when removing metal, is caused to be destroyed possibly.Negative electrode is destroyed, and just may need to keep in repair each negative electrode continually, this will cause the increase of factory's operation cost.
Be many parts by cobalt galvanic deposit be favourable, because the cobalt galvanic deposit of many parts more easily processes in down stream train.
