The safety precautions for operating copper electrolytic cells are as follows:

(1) Before commencing operations, ensure that all instruments and equipment have been installed and maintained in accordance with applicable requirements; the electrolytic cells, pumps, and associated machinery must undergo a thorough inspection.
(2) Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety helmets, acid-resistant workwear, acid-resistant gloves, protective face shields, etc.
(3) As the electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, exercise caution during operations to prevent acid burns.
(4) The temperature at the surface of the electrolytic cell is high (approximately 38°C); take appropriate measures to prevent heatstroke and ensure adequate cooling.
(5) When performing cell loading or unloading operations, you must verify that the short-circuit switch is engaged and the electrical current has been disconnected before proceeding.
(6) Exercise caution to prevent leaks when draining or filling the electrolytic cells with electrolyte.
(7) Periodically inspect the cell body for signs of corrosion and verify the integrity of the internal lining.
(8) Prior to performing maintenance or repairs, the system must undergo a cooling circulation process and a gas displacement/analysis procedure to ensure that no residual process media remain within the equipment.
Strict adherence to the aforementioned safety regulations for copper electrolytic cell operations will effectively prevent accidents—such as burns, electric shocks, and leaks—thereby safeguarding the safety of both personnel and equipment.
