In the overall process of antimony oxide production, the antimony electrolytic cell plays a vital role. It is not only a key link in improving the purity of antimony, but also has a profound impact on the final quality of antimony oxide products. When the crude antimony is melted and cast into an antimony anode plate, the refining journey in the electrolytic cell officially begins.
The design of the antimony electrolytic cell is exquisite and scientific, and its internal structure fully considers the material transfer and electrochemical reaction requirements during the electrolysis process. The cell body is usually made of corrosion-resistant and conductive materials to ensure that it is not corroded by the electrolyte during long-term operation, while ensuring the stable transmission of current. The electrolytic cell is divided into an anode area and a cathode area, separated by a specific diaphragm in the middle. The diaphragm can allow ions to pass through and effectively prevent impurities such as anode mud from entering the cathode area, thereby ensuring the high-purity precipitation of cathode antimony.
Although the obtained cathode antimony has a high purity, it still needs to be melted and cast in order to further meet the strict requirements of antimony oxide production. By melting the cathode antimony at high temperature, and undergoing refining, impurity removal, casting and other operations, a high-purity antimony ingot is finally made. These high-purity antimony ingots are high-quality raw materials for the production of antimony oxide, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent remelting and high-temperature evaporation oxidation process.
The application of antimony electrolytic cells in the production of antimony oxide not only reflects the ultimate pursuit of modern metallurgical technology for product quality and resource utilization efficiency, but also demonstrates the huge role of scientific and technological innovation in the upgrading of traditional industries. By continuously optimizing the design and operation process of the electrolytic cell and improving the level of automation control of the electrolysis process, the production cost can be further reduced, the market competitiveness of antimony oxide products can be enhanced, and the growing demand for high-quality antimony oxide in the electronics, chemical, flame retardant materials and other industries can be met.
