Abstract
The kinetics of anode slime formation and propagation were studied in a laboratory-scale copper electrorefining apparatus. Laser-based illum ination and digital image processing of videotaped records of slime mo vement, combined with current/time monitoring and polarization experim ents, provide quantitative information about the complex interaction b etween characteristic parameters of the copper electrorefining process .
