Titanium Anode for Zinc Electrowinning Introduction
The Titanium Anode for Zinc Electrowinning is a high-quality anode used in the most critical steps in electrowinning applications, where high-purity zinc metal is deposited from zinc-bearing electrolytes. The titanium anode is designed to provide excellent performance and durability, making it suitable for harsh, high-current-density conditions of zinc electrowinning.
The Titanium Anode for Zinc Electrowinning is made from high-quality titanium material, which offers exceptional corrosion resistance, optimized electrocatalysis, and long-term stability. It is specifically designed for zinc electrowinning processes, ensuring efficient and reliable zinc deposition on the substrate surface.
The anode consists of a titanium substrate coated with a thin layer of active material. The active material helps to enhance the electrode's electrical conductivity for zinc electrowinning. The anode is available in various sizes and configurations to meet different application requirements.
Working Principle
The electrode works based on the principle of electrodeposition, where an electric current is passed through the electrode, causing the zinc ions in the plating solution to be reduced and deposited onto the substrate surface. This electrode offers excellent chemical compatibility, ensuring stable and uniform zinc electrowinning results.
Structure and Characteristics
The Titanium Anode for Zinc Electrowinning features a unique structure that promotes efficient zinc electrowinning and ensures long-lasting performance. It has a smooth and uniform surface, allowing for uniform current distribution and improved electrowinning quality. The titanium substrate provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring the anode's longevity even in harsh operating conditions.

Key Features
Excellent corrosion resistance, the titanium anode is inherently resistant to the aggressive sulfuric acid-based electrolytes and elevated temperatures in zinc electrowinning process. Unlike traditional lead-silver anodes, titanium does not dissolve or degrade, eliminating cathode contamination and ensuring the production of high-purity zinc that meets industry standards.
Customizable size and configuration, mesh, plate, or custom profiles to fit standard or specialized electrowinning bath dimensions, different thickness, balancing mechanical strength and lightweight design
Durable and long-lasting, with resistance to passivation, wear, and chemical attack, our titanium anodes offer a service life longer than Pb-Ag anodes. This minimizes anode replacement frequency, reduces downtime for cell maintenance, and improves overall production continuity.
Low maintenance requirements, our titanium anodes for zinc electrowinning eliminate lead pollution risks, as they do not leach heavy metals into the electrolyte or wastewater. In addition, their long service life reduces waste generation from anode replacement.
Applications
The Titanium Anode for Zinc Electrowinning facilitates high-speed, high-efficiency zinc electrowinning. Its large surface area and efficient activation sustain high current densities needed for rapid electrowinning. The dimensional stability protects against warping and damage. The high-quality titanium anode offers superb conductivity and corrosion resistance in zinc electrowinning baths. Compared to other traditional anodes, the titanium anode increases electrowinning speed, improves uniformity, and lowers operational costs.
With its superior performance and reliability, the electrodeposited titanium anode has become the proven industry standard for zinc. Its technological and operational advantages satisfy the productivity, quality, and cost requirements for modern zinc electrowinning applications, such as large-scale zinc electrowinning plants and hydrometallurgical zinc production lines
