Abstract: A lining element (10) for mounting onto an inner surface of a drum mantle (56) in a grinding mill, comprising an elongated lifter member (12) of a wear resistant material adapted to be axially oriented with respect to the drum mantle and to project radially into the drum, and an elongated single-piece support member (26) of an elastomeric material adapted to resiliently support the elongated lifter member over a full length thereof above the inner surface of the drum mantle. The support member is extended peripherally in a rearward direction with respect to an operational forward direction of rotation of the drum into contact with a subsequent lining element (10) to be mounted onto the inner surface, and to cover entirely therebetween the inner surface of the drum mantle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved cathode element for the production of electrolytic copper, and more particularly to an improved cathode element of the reusable type which includes a cathode plate. With the intention of preventing a sleeve-like copper build-up around the cathode plate, the cathode element is provided with electrically insulating edge strips along at least those side edges of the cathode element which, in an active position, are located in the electrolyte bath, wherein the electrically insulating edge strips are chemically bonded to the cathode plate, preferably by vulcanization or by gluing.
