  • Hanger bars
    Patent number: 11131034
    Abstract: A hanger bar for an electrowinning cell, wherein hanger bar includes a bar portion and one or more contact portions adapted, in use, to be brought into contact with an electrical conductor. The contact portions are fabricated from an electrically conductive material, and a welded seal is formed between the bar portion and the contact portions in order to minimize corrosion.
    Type: Grant

  • Reducing power consumption in electro-refining or electro-winning of metal
    Publication number: 20060091003
    Abstract: A cathode plate and method for electro-refining or electro-winning of metal. The cathode includes a cathode blade and hanger bar. A quantity of electrically conductive material is wrapped around the hanger bar and along the cathode blade to a position, in use, proximate the level of electrolyte in the electrolytic bath. The provision of a deeper and preferably thicker coating of electrically conductive material, as compared with conventional cathode plates, reduces power consumption in the electrolytic circuit.
