SYSTEM FOR MONITORING, CONTROL, AND MANAGEMENT OF A PLANT WHERE HYDROMETALLURGICAL ELECTROWINNING AND ELECTROREFINING PROCESSES FOR NON FERROUS METALS.

摘要

A system to monitor, control and management of a plant where hydrometallurgical processes of electrowinning or electrorefining of non ferrous metals which enables measuring the process variables which comprises: at least one group of electrolytic cells, said cells having means for the collection and transmission of the variables of the process; a plurality of electrodes (5) installed in the interior of each electrolytic cell, making up, alternately, anodes and cathodes of basic cells; a plurality of electrode (5) hanger bars forming, alternately, hanger bars for electrical contact of anodes (20) and hanger bar for electrical contact of cathodes (18); a plurality of support electrical insulators (15) which are positioned in the upper portion of the lateral walls between two adjacent cells; a plurality of electrical bus bars (6) which are fitted on top of each support electrical insulator (15) and underneath the plurality of electrodes (5); a plurality of electrical spacer insulators (16) each spacer insulator (16) having monolithic non contact chairs (17) allowing installation, alternately, of hanger bar of anodes (20) and hanger bar of cathodes (18); a plurality of acid mist collection hoods (7); in which the constituting elements have at least one multifunctional chamber (12) which lodges circuits and/or electronic sensors (11) for measuring process variables which enable to monitor, control and manage the productive process.
