 — Conventional electrowinning plants are open systems. During the electrowinning process, oxygen bubbles are formed on the anode. The bubbles ultimately burst producing what is known as "acid mist". This acid mist is extremely toxic and a known carcinogen that poses a serious health risk to employees and visitors. In addition to this, …

 — The two biggest disadvantages in using electrowinning to produce high quality metal deposits energy efficiently from complex and dilute wastewaters are (1) in the low reaction rate of the process – about two orders of magnitude smaller than in primary copper electrowinning plants and (2) the need for iron as a component of the wastewater.

Electrowinning results and discussion. Table V illustrates the stripped cathodes obtained in synthetic electrolytes with different chloride levels, and in two plant electrolytes with different Magnafloc 333 levels. Synthetic electrolyte 1, containing 0.025 g/L chloride and 0.01 g/L Magnafloc 333, produced a deposit that was quite compact and dense.

Anodes for zinc electrowinning plants (Zn EW) also include a range of treatment options, including shot blasting and sandblasting.
