At higher levels corrosion resistant materials such as titanium may be used for wetted parts including the cathode Fluoride and Bromide For recovery of metals from acidic electrolytes electrowinning systems such as emew utilize oxygen evolving anodes comprised of a titanium substrate with a catalytic mixed metal oxide MMO coating
The comments in this work although directed toward copper electrowinning can be extended to similar phenomena in other metals electrowon from sulphate media ie zinc nickel cobalt manganese The life cycle of electrowinning anodes depends on tankhouse operating conditions and maintenance of the anodes including cleaning and straightening

AbstractIn recent years a renewed interest in studying the electrochemical corrosion behavior of lead anodes during zinc electrowinning is probably due to the particularly high sulfuric acid concentrations in zinc electrolyte where lead alloy anodes have high cell voltage and high corrosion rate of lead The high corrosion rate of lead alloy resulted in Pb contamination on zinc deposit
