Manganese speciationManganese has five main oxidation states: Mn(II), Mn(III), Mn(IV), Mn(VI) and Mn(VII) [7].The Mn 2+ ion is the most stable manganese species in acidic solutions but can be oxidised to higher oxidation states. The manganic …

In the copper electrowinning process, lead based alloys are used as anodes. Soluble cobalt at a concentration ranging from 50 – 200 ppm is added to the copper electrolyte to control the corrosion of the anode and prevent lead contamination of the copper cathode. During bleed of copper electrolyte to control iron concentration, cobalt is also ...

in copper electrowinning. In copper electrowinning, there con-tinues to be an increase in the use of stainless-steel cathodes as the substrate for copper deposition (63% of plants in 1999 vs. 74% of plants in 2007). Essen-tially, all new plants are designed using stainless-steel cathode and automated stripping technology. Additionally,
