Definitions

  • the invention relates to a separating device for metals from a metal-containing electrolyte, in particular for Coating of steel strips, consisting of lined up vertical coating cells, in which the belt running from an upper deflection and / or current roller to a lower, redirecting role and from there to one another upper deflection and / or flow roller is guided, wherein the band section running downwards or upwards passes a gap between vertically arranged anodes and fed in by means of pumps in circulation Electrolyte flow preferably against the tape running direction is acted upon.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object Generic separator for electrolytic Deposition of metals, especially zinc, from aqueous Solutions of metal salts easier and more economical too shape.
  • This object is achieved in that two opposite walls of the coating cells as Anode plates are formed and are adjacent to each other Anode plates of successive coating cells Limit the separation space.
  • the caused by electric current Separation is thus limited to a separation room that on the one hand from the insoluble anode plates of the parallel mutually arranged anode longitudinal walls adjacent Coating cells and on the other hand on the two side Openings of the pair of anode plates preferably one and extendable locking plates is formed. It is therefore a box-shaped separation room open at the top and bottom in front, through its center, seen in the longitudinal direction, to coating tape parallel to the anode plates and to the lateral locking plates is passed through.
  • the electrolyte the opposite to the tape running direction under constraint is pumped through, only fills the two sub-rooms there made entirely of electrolyte through which the box-shaped Belt passing through the separating space between each Anode plate and the tape arise. Make the two sub-rooms very flat rectangular channels.
  • each coating cell or cassette can be train as a complete functional unit and with an inserted one Move the belt sideways out of the system in the shortest possible time. Inspections, adjustments and repairs can therefore be carried out outside the coating line or in a separate one Carry out workshop. There is also the possibility by providing reserve or Interchangeable coating cells in the shortest possible time in the event of malfunctions Time to replace the dry cell with which one considerable production and maintenance cost advantage.
  • the coating cell according to the invention can be opened Execute frame construction, i.e.
  • the coating cell has a closed, i.e. also on the front have walled frames.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that at the top and Inflow and outflow slots at the lower end of the anode plates are arranged, which extend across the entire anode width extend. Whether the inflow point is up or down depends depending on the direction of the tape. Leave the slots provide themselves advantageously through slot nozzles that either outside, in front of the anode plates, or in the anode plates can be integrated; they definitely allow one over the full anode width even flow rate and thus create a prerequisite for an even Coil coating.
  • Diversion channels connected to inflow / outflow lines leading to a Lead suction tank in which there is the suction of the electrolyte after flowing through the two subspaces of the separation space can set required vacuum.
  • the one from the Electrolyte exiting coating cells flows freely, reaches a drip pan and flows from there outdoors Fall further into an electrolyte collection container. From there He can pump the coating cells out again be fed. It is also possible to use the drip pan as a Use of electrolyte template for the pumps.
  • the Locking plates are on both sides up to the Belt edges brought in and consequently reduce the separation or Flow space up to the respective range of the bandwidth, that can vary; at the same time they cover the inflow slots outside the bandwidth and thus ensure that the Electrolyte only flows in the band area.
  • the anode plates are like the edge masks made of electrically non-conductive material existing strikers completely outside the range covered, so that no power transmission in these areas from one anode plate to another, for example at different voltages Anode plates.
  • the adjustment and thus adjustment to the respective range of locking plates with those of them worn edge masks can be motor-driven Threaded spindles or via trained as parallel links swing arms connected to a drive.
  • the Edge masks come with a one-sided coating of the tape another meaning too if the anode plate not needed not switched off or not removed to the rear Avoid coil coatings. In these cases a Coating of the currentless, switched off anode plate due to to avoid voltage differences, it is through the DE 39 01 807 C2, the currentless anode plate to divide horizontally and thus any short-circuit currents to interrupt.
  • alternating series or lining up the two types of coating cells can be used in cassette-type coating systems Length, i.e. create any coating capacity.
  • Each Coating cell is identical to an electrolyte supply and two power connections (on / off). The current distribution and the electrolyte flow distribution to each Slot nozzles are provided within the coating cell.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the lined up coating cells with Quick release fasteners are locked together. At thus coating cells anchored to each other can possible thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction of the system neither on the Gap width of the anode or deposition spaces, still on the Parallelism of the current roles affect each other.
  • the single ones Coating cells support each other, and for The absorption of tape tensile forces is not an external support structure required.
  • Coating plant 1 for coating steel strips in Fig. 1 three lined up in cassette design, vertically arranged coating cells 2 and 3 shown. While the Coating cells 2 are provided with current rollers 4 at the top, has the middle coating cell in the exemplary embodiment 3 below one - rubberized to protect the belt or plastic-coated - pulley 5. Nevertheless, it lies as part of the system design, below instead of a deflection roller also to provide a power roll, which saves energy, a lower cooling effort per roll and because of the halved Electricity leads to simpler current roles and current transfers could.
  • the metal strip 6 to be coated with zinc passes through the coating system 1 in the direction of arrow 7 or 8 up or down once.
  • the metal strip 6 is thereby of head and bottom, adjustable guide rollers 9 or 10 led.
  • Those running parallel to the metal strip 6 Outer walls of the coating cells 2, 3 are anode plates 11, 12 and two adjacent anode plates 11, 12 adjacent coating cells 2, 3 and 3, 2 form a separation space 13 through the continuous Metal strip 6 in two very flat, rectangular partial spaces 14, 15 is divided.
  • Coating cells 2 and 3 are on their narrow sides closed by end walls 16, which the Distance between the two opposite each other Anode plates 11, 12 of each coating cell 2 or 3 bridge.
  • That of adjacent anode plates 11, 12 more adjacent Coating cells 2, 3 and 3, 2 limited deposition space 13 is open up and down, while its side, left and right openings of sealingly arranged Locking plates 17, 18 (see FIG. 3) are closed on their narrow sides facing the band edges with the band edges overlapping edge masks 19 (see FIG. 7) are formed.
  • the locking plates that extend over the entire anode height 17, 18 are assigned sealing strips 20, e.g. Sealing lips that form a V-shape on the plate or inflatable seals, so definitely a side completely closed seal when adjusting between the anode plates 11, 12 moving closing plates 17, 18 is reached. This also applies if the strikers 17, 18 according to the embodiment of FIG.
  • Coating cells 2 and 3 are Dry cells, because the countercurrent to the direction of the Metal tape under pressure through the separation rooms 13 pumped electrolyte only fills the two of that Metal band 6 separate sub-rooms 14, 15.
  • For supply the deposition spaces 13 with the electrolyte are - because of the Counter current supply according to the in Fig. 1 in the Coating cells 2 and 3 directed upwards and downwards Arrows 23, 24 - at the top and bottom of the anode plates 11, 12 either inflow slots 25 or outflow slots 26 arranged, which extend over the entire anode width.
  • top and bottom diversion channels 27 connected which are connected to inflow / outflow lines 28, 29 are in the embodiment of a storage tank or Recirculation container 30, which is connected to a suction tank 31 is supplied with the electrolyte, for which purpose in the Pipelines pumps 32 are arranged.
