Barra de contacto o segmento de barra de contacto una celda electrolitica, comprende una parte central que se asienta sobre el aislador–espaciador de anodos y catodos, partes ramificadas que se extienden desde la parte central lateralmente hacia afuera, y que poseen dos conjuntos de partes ramificadas a cada lado de la parte central, cada conjunto esta en relacion escalonada con el conjunto opuesto; un aislador-espaciador; un conjunto; un aparato; una barra de contacto; y metodo.

摘要

A contact bar and related techniques allow enhanced electrolytic refining of metals, e.g. avoiding or reducing electrical short circuits. The contact bar is adapted to rest on an insulating capping board for contacting symmetrical electrodes to provide locations for electrical contact therewith. The contact bar includes a central portion laying on the capping board and branch portions extending laterally outward from the central portion, such that the branch portions fit in between seats of the capping board. The contact bar may include a retention member enabling to reduce lateral movement of the electrodes, and may include a plurality of apertures to engage corresponding holding arms of the capping board. There may be a plurality of adjacent similar contact bar segments.
