ZINC ELECTROWINNING USING REACTIVE ELECTRODIALYSIS (RED)

This paper presents an alternative process for the conventional zinc electrowinning, which consists of a cell of two compartments separated by a anion exchange membrane. One of them contains a zinc sulphate catholyte and sulfuric acid while the anolyte solution contains ferrous sulfate and sulfuric...
