An apparatus for recovering a metal from a toxic solution is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of vessels (10, 10a, 10b) for containing the solution, each vessel (10) including an upper portion above the solution, electrode (50) extending into the solution in each vessel (10) for passing an electric current therethrough wherein toxic mist occurs in the upper portions of the vessels (10, 10a, 10b) above the surfaces of the solution, at least one pair of said vessels (10-10a and 10-10b) being disposed in a side-by-side relation to define spaces (44, 46) therebetween, and creating an airflow in the upper portion of the adjacent vessels from the space (44) between one pair of vessels (10-10a) to the space (46) between another pair of vessels (10-10b) for evacuating the toxic mist from above the solution in said vessels (10, 10a, 10b).
