water treatment- Heavy Metal Recovery System

The Electrolytic Metal Recovery (EMR) Heavy Metal Recovery
System consists of a highly specialized electroplating cell, a rectifier,
and auxiliary equipment. Metal bearing rinsewater or a
process stream is electrolytically displaced of the dissolved metal
ions as it passes through the cell.
The metal ions are deposited, as solid metal, onto a series of high
surface area, metal reticulated cathodes. When one of these cathodes
is fully loaded, it is easily removed from the cell and replaced
with a new cathode. The loaded cathode is a return on investment.
The EMR cell contains a series of DSA dimensionally stable anodes
and porous, flow-through, metal cathodes. These cathodes have
an active surface area approximately 10 times their geometric area.
The extended surface area of these cathodes enables the process
to obtain proper current efficiency at high current density and low
metal concentrations.
