Smart technologies and digitalisation have increased the consumption of scarce metals that
threaten the sustainability of intricated industries. Additionally, the growing streams of waste …

Electrowinning is a crucial technique for metal recovery from aqueous solutions. A
significant amount of work has already been carried out to optimize the electrowinning …

High energy input and chemicals additions are typically needed to deal with persistent
pollutants, organic and inorganic, and organometallic complexes in wastewater. Particularly …

The current paper introduces for the very first time recently invented electrodeposition-redox
replacement (EDRR) method in continuous leaching-recovery-solution purification process …

Copper (Cu) is a crucial non-ferrous material, and in this research, a new composite layered
anode, Ti/Ta-Ti-Sn (Ru) Ox/PbO 2, was developed for the hydrometallurgical process. The …

Copper producers face increased demand associated with increasing complexity in
feedstock composition, including high amounts of impurity metals. In this work, linear sweep …

The presence of nodules on the surface of cathode copper plates was the most important
reason for the failure of the punch of mechanical clinching of copper cathode sheets. This …

In this research, the 3D-Pb-Ca-Sn anode was fabricated and may be a promising anode for
copper electrowinning. The effects of Cl− and Mn 2+ ions on the oxygen evolution and …

Highly acidic and chloride contaminated electrolyte used in industrial electrowinning acts as
a corrosive medium which destroys anode stability and as a result, cathode purity. Pb-based …

Over the past decades, biological treatment of metallurgical wastewaters has become
commonplace. Passive systems require intensive land use due to their slow treatment rates …
