The copper sulfate solution is an electrolyte solution that conducts electricity from one electrode to the other, creating an electrical current. When the current is flowing, oxidation (loss of electrons) happens at the copper anode, adding copper ions to the solution.
The FENIX unit loads iron from the electrowinning solution on a sulphonated monophosphonic acid resin followed by stripping using a novel cuprous sulfate elution solution. The FENIX system delivers significant savings in reagent consumption (acid and cobalt sulphate for electrowinning, lime for neutralization of the raffinate bleed) and has the ...
The corresponding figures of the catholyte solution were approximately pH ~2.0, about 25 g/L iron and 90 to 100 g/L sodium sulphate. In the anode compartments the electrolyte contained sulphuric acid in the range 55–60 g/L, 55–65 g/L sodium sulphate, and about 25 g/L iron, of which 60–75% was in the trivalent form.
i) Cobalt Sulphate – Heptahydrate 21% or 20% or 18% as per user requirement. Mostly used in copper production during the Ele ctrowinning process to suppress major contaminants from depositing on the cathode. It has wider applications also in the painting and food industry. ii) Iron Sulphate – Mostly used in electrowinning processes to assist maintain current density in …

Electrolysis of Iron(II)Sulphate Physics Forums. 12-05-2013 You should do the same with your other reaction, remembering that initial concentration of OH - is not zero either (actually it is identical to the initial concentration of H + ), and that -0.83 V is given for a solution in a standard state (which means concentration of OH - equal to 1M).
Electrowinning nickel cathode from clean nickel sulphate solution (600 t/a). Nickel is considered a ' moody' metal, in that it can be quite temperamental to electrowinning favouring constant concentration, constant temperature, constant pH and careful control of impurities, due in part to its negative reduction potential (E 0 = -0.25). In most cases, nickel electrolyte needs to …
As copper is depleted from the CuSO4-H2SO4 electrolyte solution during copper electrowinning, the concentration of iron remaining in the solution increases. This build up of iron can result in a loss of current efficiency in the electrowinning process due to the continuous oxidation/reduction of Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ .
