Platinised Niobium Anodes

Applications

Preferred for high current application and when the resistivity of titanium is to high or its breakdown potential is to low

Electrowinning

  • Copper, nickel, cobalt mining

Electroplating

  • Electroplating of Au, Ag, Rh, Pt, Pd, and Ru
  • Electroplating of Cu, Zn, Ni and Sn
  • Chrome plating
  • Equalisation of cathode/anodic current efficiency

Recovery of heavy metals

  • Waste plating baths and rinsing solutions

Electroforming

  • Dentistry industry: crowns, bridges and inlays
  • Hollow jewellery
  • Microstructures



Electrochemical synthesis
  • Electro-oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI)
