Buy Wholesale Copper Cathode Grade A 99,9% 500MT

Product details

The specification of a copper cathode includes its size, weight, chemical composition, and surface finish. Copper cathodes typically come in standard sizes of 96 to 99.99 percent pure copper, with a thickness of 1 to 3 inches, a width of 1 to 3 feet, and a weight of 200 to 400 pounds. The chemical composition of copper cathodes can vary slightly, depending on the source of the raw copper ore and the refining process used to produce the cathode. Copper Cathode Manufacturing. The manufacturing process of copper cathode starts with mining and extracting raw copper ore from the earth. The ore is then transported to a processing plant, where it undergoes several stages of processing to produce copper concentrate. The copper concentrate is then transported to a smelting facility, where it is further refined to produce copper anodes. The copper anodes are then transported to an electrolysis cell, where they are immersed in an electrolyte solution of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid. A direct current is passed through the solution, which causes the copper ions to be deposited onto a stainless steel cathode. Over time, the copper ions build up on the cathode and form a layer of pure copper. Once the layer of copper is thick enough, the cathode is removed from the cell and transported to a warehouse for further processing. Copper Cathode Warehousing. Handling and warehousing of copper cathodes is critical to maintain their quality and prevent damage. Copper cathodes are usually transported on pallets, and forklifts are used to move them around the warehouse. Special lifting equipment is required to lift and move the cathodes safely, as they can be heavy and awkward to handle. Copper cathodes are typically stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated area to prevent corrosion and other damage. The warehouse should be free from any contaminants that can cause corrosion, and the cathodes should be stored in a way that allows for easy access and movement. The storage area should also be secure to prevent theft and unauthorized access.
