Electrochemical processes within the slimes layer of lead anodes during Betts electrorefining

In the Betts process for lead electrorefining the noble impurities originally present in the bullion form a strong and adherent layer of slimes. Within this layer the established ionic concentration gradients can lead to secondary reactions. The following processes were analyzed from a thermodynamic...
