Definitions
- the invention relates to a plant for silver refining according to the Möbius process with stripping cathode plates arranged in an electrolysis tank between flat anodes with anode bags, anodes with sieve trays for receiving a bed of part-shaped raw silver and suction pipes opening below the sieve trays for suctioning off anode sludge are provided.
- a system of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in particular in that the anodes are provided with at least one line for flushing the raw silver bed with electrolyte, in particular in a circuit.
- AT-A 1 751/96 shows a construction where the anodes are formed with a basket above the sieve bottom, in which the anode bag is used as a bottomless sleeve, and a tight bottom piece, in particular made of plastic, is attached to the sieve bottom is. If such an anode is equipped with a line for rinsing with electrolyte, the electrolyte in the basket area thus emerges laterally through the sleeve from the anode area.
- Another construction for the advantageous realization of the anode rinsing is an entire plastic casing in the immersion area of the anode, which is perforated above the sieve bottom and in which area the anode bag is used as a bottomless sleeve and which forms a bottom piece below the sieve bottom.
- extremely thin materials for example ion exchange membranes, can be used as anode bags, since they are only exposed to mechanical stress in the region of the holes in the casing.
- the bottom piece can, regardless of whether it is part of the plastic casing or a separate component, consist of impermeable material or at least partially formed as a microporous plastic plate which is permeable to electrolyte, but not anode sludge.
- At least one settling chamber with a funnel bottom is provided in the base piece, into which the suction pipe for the anode sludge projects.
- the individual flush lines are advantageously supplied together via a single electrolyte return line with a circulation pump - the location from where electrolyte is returned in the Möbius cell is not critical as long as care is taken to ensure that no stripped pure silver is carried along.
- a partial stream from the electrolyte circuit customary in the Möbius process is preferably used for anode rinsing.
- a Möbius flat anode with electrolyte flushing is described in more detail with reference to the drawing, which shows a sectional schematic plan view of one of the large end faces of the anode, which is shown and described as in AT-A 1 751, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference is arranged as one of several anodes in a Möbius cell between two stripping cathodes.
- a rectangular titanium frame 1 has a sieve bottom 2, on which an anode bed made of raw silver granules is not shown.
- the frame 1 is surrounded by a box-shaped plastic sheathing 3 with a closed, tapering bottom 4, the plastic sheathing 3 having continuous openings 5 in the region of the anode fill, which are covered on the inside of the sheathing with a membrane sleeve 6 which is open at the bottom and which extends to the sieve tray 2.
- the titanium frame 1 and the plastic casing are detachably connected at 14.
- Two titanium tubes 7 and 8 protrude into the titanium frame 1 from above, the tube 7 being closed at the bottom and seated on the sieve plate 2, while the tube 8 extends down through the sieve plate 2 to the bottom of the casing 3.
- the tube 7 is used to supply flushing electrolyte for the anode bed, while the tube 8 is the suction tube for anode sludge.
- Two perforated titanium sheets 9, 10 are welded in between the tubes 7 and 8 at a distance from one another and form an electrolyte distribution chamber which is supplied with electrolyte via a longitudinal slot 11 in the tube 7.
- the sheets 9, 10 run parallel to the tubes 7, 8 and are connected to one another at the top by a cover plate 12, so that electrolyte supplied via the tube 7 mainly emerges laterally from the sheets 9, 10 into the anode bed.
- a bottom plate 13 is also advantageously provided.
- the perforations 5 of the plastic casing including the membrane sleeve extend up to above the anode bed and up to above the Anode bed of bath levels in the cell, so that pumped-in rinsing electrolyte can also flow laterally out of the anode above the bath level.
- the bottom part 1 5 of the sheathing 4 that is to say the collecting area for the anode sludge below the sieve bottom 2, can either be solid, ie impermeable, or at least in sections consist of a microporous plastic plate.
