Abstract[English]
Electrowinning circuits and methods of electrowinning are disclosed. Embodiments may be characterized in that that they promote the removal of hard cathode deposits from cathodes. Embodiments may also be characterized in that they promote softer deposits of precious metals onto cathodes during the electrowinning process. An advantage of practicing disclosed embodiments is that precious metal deposits on cathodes may be more easily recovered and the cathodes may be re-used in the electrowinning process. Thus, cathode destruction via smelting to recover precious metal deposits can be avoided.[French]
L'invention concerne des circuits et des procédés d'extraction électrolytique d'extraction électrolytique. Des modes de réalisation peuvent être caractérisés en ce qu'ils favorisent l'élimination de dépôts durs des cathodes. Des modes de réalisation peuvent également être caractérisés en ce qu'ils favorisent des dépôts plus souples de métaux précieux sur des cathodes pendant le processus d'extraction électrolytique. Un avantage de la mise en œuvre des modes de réalisation de l'invention est que des dépôts de métaux précieux sur des cathodes peuvent être récupérés plus facilement et les cathodes peuvent être réutilisées dans le processus d'extraction électrolytique. Ainsi, la destruction de cathode par fusion pour récupérer des dépôts de métaux précieux peut être évitée.
