摘要

An electrolytic cell for recovery of metal from mineral ores or concentrates comprising a tank for holding a slurry of electrolyte and the mineral ore or concentrates. Vertical anodes (5) are radially disposed in the tank and vertical cathodes (3) enclosed in diaphragm bags (8) are interposed between the anodes (5). Agitating means (14) are located in the tank below the anodes and cathodes. Metal is removed from a central collecting container (10) in the tank by pump means.
