What is an ethylene based integrated electrolytic cell

Introduction to Vinyl Integrated Electrolytic Cells

Ethylene based integral casting electrolytic cell is a new type of environmentally friendly electrolytic cell equipment, which is the main equipment for non-ferrous wet smelting. The cell body is composed of a corrosion-resistant layer, a structural layer composed of polymer concrete reinforced aggregates, and an outer layer.

By modifying vinyl resin, controlling the moisture content of quartz sand and production environment temperature, and optimizing the overall structure through finite element analysis modeling, the product has advantages such as high electrolysis rate, cleanliness and environmental protection, precise size, and long service life.

With the continuous strengthening of environmental protection requirements and the improvement of comprehensive performance requirements such as quality, environmental protection, and leak free for electrolytic products in wet metallurgy, ethylene based electrolytic cells have superior performance that traditional material products cannot compare with.

Classification of Vinyl Integrated Electrolytic Cells

According to the different types of applicable metals and production processes, it is divided into electrolytic tanks for copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, lead, manganese, etc., copper removal tanks, nickel liquid making tanks, etc.

Characteristics of Vinyl Integrated Electrolytic Cells

1.Corrosion resistant, Long service life

It is integrally cast using modified vinyl ester resin and high-quality quartz sand, which effectively solves the stress shrinkage and linear expansion problems of electrolytic cells produced by other processes. All materials are anti-corrosive, so they have a long service life. The service life has been verified by actual use to be more than 20 years.

2.No leakage

The chemical barier meet FRP tank chemical barrier domestic and international specification, Such seals are typically composed by 3 layers fiber glass soaked with vinyl ester resin. The production process adopts one-time integral casting technology. The structural layer and outer layer are composed of polymer reinforced aggregate, so that the product will not leak electrolyte and has good leak-proof performance.

3.Improve current efficiency, Improve product quality

Under strong current electrolysis conditions, the use of steel bars can easily generate eddy currents on the cell walls. The overall insulation of the polymer concrete cell is good, the reinforcing ribs are non-metallic, and there is no eddy current, which greatly improves the current efficiency.

Excellent corrosion resistant property, achieved no leakage, thus solved the problem of accessories corrosion caused by liquid leakage, solves the problem of calcium sulfate contamination caused by electrolyte penetration, which affects the quality of cathode plates. Then improves the quality of electrolytic products.

4.High Strength

The polymer concrete cell is made of vinyl ester resin and quartz sand as the base material, and is cast as monolithicly at a specific temperature. The compressive strength is >80MPa, which can effectively avoid damage caused by the collision of cathodes and anodes during operation.

5.Accurate dimension easy to install

The vinyl resin integrally cast electrolytic cell is cast integrally in a mold. It has good integrity, high dimensional accuracy, and accurate embedded parts. It is simple for cell erection, alignment and leveling.

6.Small footprint, Easy repair and short time

Since the monolithic polymer concrete cell has good strength, precise dimensions, and low thermal expansion coefficient, the cell wall can be reduced from traditional 115-150mm to 70-100mm, and the cell spacing can be reduced from 30mm to less than 20mm. Under the same production area, 6%-10% more cells can be arranged, or 6%-10% of the factory area can be saved.

If the cathode or anode plate fall down and cause scratches and cracks on the cell body, easy to repair: rinse this place with clean water and dry，Make a "V"-shape groove at the crack and fill them with mixture of modified vinyl ester resin and quartz sand , then cure 2 hours at room temperature. Furnish the surface, it can be used again.
