The Use of an Agitated Bed of Particles as an Electrode System for Metal Deposition (4876d8c2-8782-4927-8ff6-1653abc1cd21)

Polarization phenomena associated with the use of an agitated bed of particles as an electrode for metal deposition were studied. The concentration polarization at this type of electrode is much smaller than that occurring at a fixed or moving electrode surface. Agitated particle electrodes can be used to electro-reduce copper from solutions over a wide range of concentration and at cur·rent densities up to 2000 AIsq. ft. of bed cross section.
