<p>A metal extraction apparatus for recovering metal from a solution. The apparatus includes a recovery tank that houses a plurality of anodes and is configured to have metal containing solution pumped therethrough. The tank is configured to hold a plurality of removable cathodes. During operation, a voltage difference is applied between the anodes and the cathodes so that the metal within the solution collects on the cathode. When an amount of metal has accumulated on a cathode, that cathode may be removed so that the metal can be collected. The cathodes can include a connector element of a plug-and-receptacle connector for electrically connecting the cathode to a voltage potential. The cathodes can alternatively, or in addition, include supports configured to be held in saddles disposed on side walls of the recovery tank.</p> |
