What is a copper cathode?
What is a copper cathode? This product is made of copper
Is. Copper cathode in the process of electrolytic refining
And occurs at very high temperatures. This
The process begins with the concentration of copper. Up to andes
Achieved with a purity of 99.99%.
Copper itself is known as the third most widely used metal in the world. This metal is very resistant to corrosion and also has a high electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper is widely used in the electrical and electronics industry (about 50%) due to its high conductivity compared to aluminum.
Iran, Chile and Russia have large copper reserves. For this reason, they are one of the best producers and exporters of copper. Copper cathode is used to produce products that must contain high purity copper and copper alloy.
How is a copper cathode produced?
To produce this product, the first step is to pour copper blisters in the anode. After that, electrolytic operation is performed on it. After these measures, they are immersed in a tank of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid. At this point, as the current begins to flow, the copper ions begin to transfer to the cathode. And in the last stage, 99.99% pure copper cathode is formed.
Copper cathode sheets are produced in dimensions of 0.5 to 1 cubic meter and thickness of 3 to 20 mm.
Copper cathode applications
Copper cathode is used to produce various shapes of ingots. This product is also used to make cast iron rods. Which is widely used in wire, cable and transformer industries.
