Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system comprising reusable ears for copper anodes used in the electrorefining process, which replaces the need of having these same anodes formed by its own ears.
- These ears currently only serve for the electrical contact function and work as a current anode supporter, and, therefore, when finishing the electro- winning process on the cathodes, this material is left intact and must be re-smelted again to form a new anode.
- This invention makes possible to use an anode without ears which allows to minimize the scrap production together with its consequent associated costs.
- the high-purity copper production process involves several stages starting with the reception and sampling of copper concentrates. It is important to perform a sampling of them as well as classify them according to the copper, iron, sulfur, silica concentrations and impurities such as mainly arsenic, antimony and zinc.
- the concentrate enters into the drying stage where the humidity is reduced from 8% to 0.2%, then the dried concentrated enters into the fusion process, whose objective is to achieve a change of state which allows the concentrate to pass from a solid state to a liquid state so as the copper can be separated from the other elements comprising the concentrate.
- the copper concentrate fusion is a product of the instantaneous auto-ignition thereof, which takes place at high temperatures (greater to 1200 °C).
- the concentrate passes from the solid state to a liquid state, the elements comprising the ores present in the concentrate are separated according to their weight, remaining the lighter ones on the upper part of what has been smelted (molten metal), which is called slag, mainly high iron and silica phases, while the copper associated to sulfur which is heavier, is concentrated on the lower part of the reactor, which is called Babbitt metal or bearing metal.
- molten metal molten metal
- slag mainly high iron and silica phases
- the copper associated to sulfur which is heavier is concentrated on the lower part of the reactor, which is called Babbitt metal or bearing metal.
- the high-copper material is carried in liquid form through pots or channels to the conversion process where a high copper phase called blister copper is produced (98.5 Cu).
- This product is subsequently carried in liquid form through pots or channels to a refining process where are mainly removed impurities such as dissolved sulfur, dissolved oxygen and impurities such as arsenic, antimony, bismuth, lead among others, such that finally results the obtaining of the product called anode copper with an average purity of 99.5 % of copper.
- the anode copper is molded and solidified with a rectangular geometry of an anode plate (1) having ears (2) as showed in figure 1.
- the most used way to cast the anode copper is by means of a casting wheel which comprises a determined quantity of copper molds wherein the copper is poured at a temperature lower or equal to 1200°C, once the copper is poured into the casting wheel, the latter starts to spin and the smelted copper begins to cool in a first stage at ambient temperature until the upper part of the copper is solid, subsequently the copper passes by a cooling stage which comprises upper water cooling and lower water cooling. During this stage the copper decreases its temperature until reaching a complete solid state to be carried to the electrolytic refining plant in order to produce a high-purity cathode having copper contents higher or equal to 99.9 % Cu.
- the anode copper is formed on a mold (7) which comprises a central rectangular-shaped cavity (8) to receive the liquid copper which forms the anode plate (1).
- a mold (7) which comprises a central rectangular-shaped cavity (8) to receive the liquid copper which forms the anode plate (1).
- the anode (1) is introduced into an electrolytic cell (3), which has a cathode (4) that can be permanent or of mother sheet according to the technology to be used having its respective hanging bar (5).
- the electrolytic cell (3) is filled with an acid solution and current is applied to the contacts (6) in order to produce the electrowinning of the copper from the anode (1) towards the cathode (4) according to what is shown in figures 2 to 5.
- the anode (1) only remains submerged up to the continuous zone of the ears (2) and due to this the upper part of the anode (1) does not participate in the electrolysis process as shown in greater detail in figure 3, thus using the ears (2) only to transport the same and for electrical contact.
- this part of the anode remains intact and becomes an important part of the rest of the anode, together with the material that was not dissolved, called scrap.
- This material must be smelted again to form a new anode (1) and continuing with the complete cycle; this product is formed in all the existing refineries and the reprocessing cost is high wherein said product is made by means of different technologies existing in the market.
- the present invention proposes a new geometrical shape of the anode (1) which leads to separate the ears (2) of the anode body, by keeping a rectangular configuration or other shape of dimensions required by the electrorefining technology to be used, subsequently and downstream of the molding process must be incorporated the fastening system, which has already been dimensioned and standardized from the factory, according to the geometrical dimensions used by the existing technologies of electrorefining.
- the fastening system can be comprised by materials resistant to the acid solution used in the electro-erosion and having conductive elements that will allow to transmit the electric current to the modified anode such that the electrical contact can be the suitable one for the electrolysis process.
- This material with good electrical conduction properties such as copper
- this document discloses a method for the manufacture of a suspension bar in which a sheath of copper is drawn over a core of steel, starting from copper tube. Copper and steel cores are introduced into the copper tube, subsequently the sheath is drawn with further cores being added, to a total length which essentially corresponds to the change in length of the copper tube occurring as a result of the drawing and, finally, the rod produced is sawn up into the desired rod lengths at the points where the copper cores are located.
- the bar Towards the center, the bar has two hooks to suspend an anode or cathode as the case may be.
- Document ES 8303548 discloses a method of manufacture of a lead anode for the electrolytic extraction of metals.

- the solder comprises a lead-tin-silver alloy to be applied in the electrowinning of copper, nickel and zinc.

- This modification of the anode can lead to a modification in the way of removing the anode from the wheel by means of robotized, automated or semi-automated system with a gripper systems or any other, to remove the anode from the wheel and place it on the water cooling pit.
- the integrated anodes will be placed in the water cooling pit or in a subsequent stage before entering into the electrolytic cells. These integrated anodes must have a fitting system which guarantees the handling of the anode copper thereby allowing an excellent electrical contact within the cell and can be reusable, thus allowing the effective release of the rest of the anode which was not able to dissolve in the electrolysis stage.
- the system of the invention comprises an anode with a special geometrical shape and a set of reusable pieces which are independently generated and incorporated as a system in subsequent stages into the molding process of the anode copper.
