Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for applying a protective strip on a cathode plate for the electrowinning of a metal from an electrolyte liquid, wherein the protective strip made of plastic with the aid of a pressing tool to the heated cathode sheet with a melting of their cathode sheet facing surface and then pressed over the cathode plate is cooled.
  • a disadvantage of this known A method for applying a protective strip on a cathode plate is especially that the adhesion of the protective strip on the cathode plate can be affected by air pockets, resulting in the full-surface pressing the protective strips to the heated cathode plate.
  • the protective strip not only prevents corrosion of the cathode plate but also protects against mechanical damage to the cathode plate during shaving off of the metal deposited electrolytically on the cathode plate in the border region of the metal deposits, which places considerable demands on the adhesion of the protective strips brings the cathode sheets with it.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a method for applying a protective strip on a cathode plate for the electrolytic extraction of a metal from an electrolyte liquid of the type described in such a way that a higher load-resistant connection between the protective strip and the cathode plate can be ensured.
  • the invention solves the problem set by the fact that the protective strip applied to a resiliently resilient in the pressing, against the cathode plate pre-curved pressing tool and is pressed progressively from a determined by the curvature of the pressing tool Aufsetz Scheme to the cathode plate.
  • the protective strip is first applied to a pre-curved against the cathode plate pressing tool and pressed with the aid of this pressing tool to the cathode plate, initially results in a Aufsetz Scheme in the apex of the curvature, which due to the elastic resilience of the pressing tool in Andschreibsinn the pressure range during the Preßhubes gradually expanded to the entire extent of the pressing tool, so that by the progressive pressing the Protective strip to the cathode plate, the risk of air bubbles can be excluded despite the melting of the protective strip in the contact area.
  • the air between the heated cathode plate and the protective strip is yes due to the curvature of the pressing tool, starting from the apex of the curvature displaced in the buckling direction over the surface of the protective strip to the outside. This ensures a rich concern of the protective strip on the cathode plate as a prerequisite for good adhesion.
  • the cathode plate is cooled after pressing the protective strip by applying cooling plates, which also allow a lowering of the cooling time.
  • a device with a pressing tool which comprises at least one cheek plate for pressing a protective strip on one side of the cathode plate.
  • the cheek plate has a curved against the cathode plate leaf spring for receiving the protective strip.
  • the leaf spring which rests the recorded protective strip at a Preßhub of the pressing tool in the apex region of the Blattfederwölbung on the cathode plate is flattened during the further Preßverlaufs, wherein the protective strip is progressively pressed starting from the attachment area in buckling direction to the cathode plate.
  • This progressive pressing of the protective strip to the cathode plate avoids not only air pockets between the cathode sheet and the Schutzieiste, but also brings benefits for any shaping of the warmed over the heated cathode sheet protective strip with him, because this shape must not be made simultaneously over the extension of the protective strip in buckling direction of the leaf spring.
  • the leaf spring may have a profile corresponding to the nominal cross section of the protective strip.
  • a protective strip 3 made of a suitable thermoplastic material, preferably covered with a copolymeric polyolefin.
  • the cathode sheet 1 may be brushed in the region of the later protective strips 3 prior to its heating, on the one hand to clean the surface of the cathode sheet 1 in this area and, on the other hand, to obtain a surface structure improving the adhesive bond to the protective strips 3.
  • connection of the protective strips 3 with the cathode plate 1 is effected by pressing the protective strips 3 to the correspondingly heated cathode plate 1, wherein the protective strips 3 are melted on the cathode plate 1 facing surface, so that there is a good adhesive bond during subsequent cooling when the inclusion of air bubbles between the cathode plate 1 and the protective strips 3 can be prevented.
  • a press tool 4 which comprises two cheek plates 5 with against the cathode plate 1 bulging leaf springs 6 for receiving the protective strips 3. These leaf springs 6 are slidably mounted on the cheek plates 5 in sliding blocks 7 in length to allow flattening of the leaf springs 6 during the Preßhubes.
  • the spanned on the curved leaf springs 6 protective strips 3 are first pressed in the apex region of the Blattfederwölbung to the heated cathode sheet 1, as shown in FIG.
  • the protective strips 3 are pressed progressively starting from this middle Aufsetz Scheme 8 to the length of the cathode plate 1, because the leaf springs 6 are increasingly flattened to be held pressed down finally over the entire length to the cathode plate 1.
  • the cathode plate 1 with the applied protective strips 3 can be removed from the pressing tool 4.
  • the leaf springs 6 can be profiled according to the desired cross section of the protective strips 3, for example, in the region of the electrolyte facing longitudinal side of the protective strips 3 while pressing this protective strips 3 to the cathode plate 1 to achieve a rounding of the longitudinal edge.
  • Such a plastic deformation is possible due to the heating of the protective strips 3 through the cathode plate 1 without difficulty.
  • the pressing pressure is preferably between 4 to 6 bar and is held for about 1 min before the cathode plate 1 is cooled via cooling plates to a stack temperature.
  • the pressing against the ends of the protective strips 3 pressing the protective strips to the cathode plate 1 also ensures a positive connection of the protective strips 3 to the edge strips 9, without a risk of corrosion in the connection area to fear the cathode plate 1.
