Diffusion and convection are the main modes of mass transport that occur during copper electrorefining. Diffusion determines the rate of copper transfer across the diffusion layer, which in turn, affects the dissolution of the anode and deposition on the

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling of Natural Convection in Copper Electrorefining [PDF]
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of copper electrorefining is discussed. Copper electrorefining takes place in a rectangular geometry, with two electrodes opposing each other, and a source and sink of copper ions at the respective electrodes ...

Electrorefining of U-Pu-Zr alloy on solid Al electrodes in LiCl-KCl eutectic melt initially containing Zr ions [PDF]
Electrorefining process in molten chloride salts using solid aluminium cathodes to recover actinides (An) is developed in ITU. Complete recovery of actinides in electrorefining of An-Zr alloy fuels can not be achieved without co-dissolution of Zr. It has

Reaction Mechanism of Uranium Metal and Cadmium Chloride in LiCl-KCl Eutectic Molten Salt
The synthesis of high-concentration uranium trichloride (UCl3) was investigated through the reaction of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) with metallic uranium (U) in a LiCl-KCl eutectic molten salt system.

Effect of Thiourea on Copper Electrorefining
The effect of thiourea on copper electrodeposition has been investigated by measuring the cathodic polarization curves for aqueous H2SO4-CuSO4 solutions and observing the surface morphology of deposited Cu. The cathode potential for Cu deposition was depolarized by the addition of thiourea less than 0.1 mmol/L, whereas it was significantly polarized ...

A new electrorefining system for aluminium
Super pure aluminium is at present produced on commercial scale by three layer electrorefining process which has several drawbacks. A new nonalloying refining system was hence developed and tried in laboratory scale cells.

DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTERIZATION METHODS FOR ADHERENT ANODE SLIMES IN COPPER ELECTROREFINING
Adherent anode slimes can cause anode passivation in copper electrorefining and lower the efficiency of copper electrorefining. Declining concentrate grades cause larger impurity levels in anodes, thus creating larger quantities of slimes in the refining
