Title
Modeling and Validation of Electrowinning to Facilitate Operational OptimizationAbstract
Understanding the causes and effects of operational conditions in tank houses has a significant impact on electrowinning operating costs. To better predict these costs a model was developed to determine the cause and effect of various parameters such as temperature, concentration, bubble size, and current density on electrowinning performance. Straight cathodes and various defects were studied such as nodules, bent and tilted cathodes. Experiments were conducted to validate the model. Full-scale simulations were also compared to historic data. The objective of this work is to provide operators with a modeling tool that quantifies the impacts of operational settings on electrowinning performance and costs.Date
