ELECTROWINNING
Electrowinning AnodesDSA® anodes are gaining acceptance in the electrowinning industry. Until recently, lead anodes were the accepted anodes of choice for electrowinning applications. However, as industries become more environmentally conscious, alternate technologies are being sought. To that end, De Nora developed a titanium DSA® anode for Nickel and copper electrowinning. The DSA® anode also provide a practical alternative to lead anodes for zinc, and cobalt electrowinning. The advantages of DSA® anodes technology over conventional lead anodes are long life, clean operation and power savings.
Metal Recovery AnodesIn order to meet the environmental challenges that electroplaters face, De Nora developed a system to recover metals from wastewater streams. De Nora continues to support the metal recovery industry and manufactures anodes for other metal recovery systems to meet customer specific needs.
Electrolysis SystemsIncreasing cost pressures in waste disposal services have led to the rapid development of processes with which the metal flux from heavy metals containing process and wastewater can be drastically reduced, thus contributing to a reduction in the amount of sludge containing heavy metals which have to be deposited, in turn reducing the burden on the environment.
