Abstract

Two studies of impurity distribution within electrolytically refined cathodes show broad disparities in the distribution of impurities within one cathode, between one cathode and another, and between cathodes of differing surface (nodulation) characteristics. The findings bring into question the reliability of results based on sampling discrete locations on cathodes.

Keywords:
impurities, cathodes, anodes, current density, periodic current reversal, electrolytes, segregation, tank house
