HEAD FOR SUSPENDING AN ANODE PLATE FOR ZINC ELECTROLYSIS AND HANDLING MEANS

摘要

The invention relates to a head (1) for suspending an anode plate (2) in order to improve current distribution in the electrode and reduce the corrosion on the elements of said suspension head (1) during zinc electrolysis processes, which rests on an equipotential rod, said suspension head (1) being characterised by including a conductive rod (3) and a handling means (4) made of a composite material at the ends of the conductive rod (3), said conducive rod comprising (3) a coating (7) to prevent corrosion on the conductive rod (3) and to enable current to pass through the entire anode plate (2), said coating (7) being applied to the entire surface, except at the contact area (8) between the conductive rod (3) and the equipotential rod, said coating (7) being partially welded to the anode plate (2) and said handling means (4) including an upper area with handling elements (9) and a lower area (10) for coupling to the conductive rod (3) which, on the inner portion thereof (11), completely surrounds and matches the geometry of the coating (7) of the conductive rod (3) in the area of the rod that is not welded to the anode plate (2).
