Thyristor Rectifier for Chlor Alkali Electrolysis Gold Silver Copper Zinc Lead Electrowinning 


1. SCR rectifier for electrolytic process application area

Rectifiers for Electrowinning, Electrolytic Refining

High capacity, high current dc power supply is applied to the production of high purity 99.9% cathode copper through Electrowinning, also called electroextraction, is the electrodeposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution via a process commonly referred to as leaching. Electrolytic refining uses a similar process to remove impurities from a metal. Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the economical and straightforward purification of non-ferrous metals. The method that to increase the purity of the metal using electrolysis, is putting two electrodes into the electrolytic solution, base metal of low purity metal as the anode and suitable metal thin plate as the cathode, and to flow the current and then a high purity metal is precipitated on the negative electrode plate, and impurities is removed. The metals can be treated with electrolytic refining, are copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver, aluminum, antimony, tin, nickel, bismuth, uranium, beryllium, vanadium, and the like.

  

SCR power supplies rectifier for Electrolysis, Electrochlorination in Chemical Plant

Rectifier thyristor technology for producing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas (Cl2) from the brine makes use of electrolysis method, Electrolysis of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda, chlorine gas is generated at the anode and caustic soda is made and hydrogen gas is generated simultaneously at the cathode, for this CA (Chlor-Alkali) process, high-capacity special power supply is required for the purpose of effective electrolysis. 

And the power supply is also used for electrolysis of potassium hydroxide, copper foil, salt solution, seawater desalination Electrodialysis(ED) etc.

   

Steel Plant Rectifier

High capacity electrolysis power supply is used in manufacturing process of EGL, CGL, PGL and STS, electrical degreasing and electroplating of a metal sheet including cleaning rectifier, Pickling Rectifier, Electrolytic cleaning rectifier, and Electroplating Rectifier using SCR phase shift technology.
