Electrochemical Probing of Causes for Variation in Lifetime of Iridium-Tantalum Oxide Electrode Used in Copper Electrowinning
In hydrometallurgical copper production plants, titanium-based electrodes coated with a conductive layer of IrO2-Ta2O5 are widely used as anodes in acidic copper electrowinning baths because of their long service life and low overpotential for oxygen evolution. The presence of trace amounts of ions...
