Abstract

Al/Pb-Sn composite anodes used in copper electrowinning are prepared by electro-deposition onto the aluminum Substrates in lead methanesulfonate electrolyte. Using potentiodynamic investigations, the information about corrosion resistance and oxygen reaction (OER) potential of these anodes in the lead dioxide region have been measured. The results show that with an increase of Sn content the OER potential and corrosion rate decrease. The SEM observations show that with an increase of Sn content the lead grain size increases. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis show that with an increase of Sn content the phase of β-PbO2 with lower corrosion rate and OER potential increases.
