<p>A process is described for supporting and cleaning a mesh anode bag (10) having one open end, one closed end and being sealed along its sides, the bag contg. particles (18) of discharged active Zn along its inner surfaces after being separated from a discharged Zn anode. The process comprises: (a) placing the bag over a device comprising a hollow body (20) having a liquid inlet (22) at one end and a number of liquid outlets (26) at the opposite end, wherein the inner surfaces of the bag are in proximity to the outer surfaces of the body, and the outlets are at the closed end of the bag; (b) causing a flow of liquid (34) through the inlet and through the body to the outlets; and (c) flowing the liquid from the outlets between the outer surface of the body and the inner surface of the bag to remove particles of Zn therefrom. The liquid is water or an alkaline soln..</p> |
