摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for separating metal deposit from a mother plate used as a cathode in an electrolytic process, as metal electrorefining or metal electrowinning, in which device there is a supporting member for supporting the cathode to be treated, a member for releasing at least partly a metal deposit grown during the electrolytic process on a surface of the mother, and a member for support the released metal deposit. According to the invention the mother plate of a cathode (<HIL><PDAT>1, 21, 31, 41, 51</BOLD><PDAT>) is provided with a growth affecting means (<HIL><PDAT>16, 24, 36, 43, 53</BOLD><PDAT>) for creating an irregularity in the growth of the metal deposit (<HIL><PDAT>4</BOLD><PDAT>) to be used as a hinged member when the metal deposit (<HIL><PDAT>4</BOLD><PDAT>) is tilted to the mother plate of the cathode (<HIL><PDAT>1, 21, 31, 41, 51</BOLD><PDAT>) in order to break the metal deposit (<HIL><PDAT>4</BOLD><PDAT>) in two separate pieces along the irregularity in the growth.</PTEXT>
