Lead Anode – Durable and Efficient Electrochemical Solution
A lead anode is a durable electrode widely used in electrolysis, metal refining, and surface plating processes.
It is manufactured from pure lead or lead alloys containing antimony, tin, or silver, providing excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and low erosion rates in harsh chemical environments.
Lead anodes are essential in electroplating systems, metal refining (Cu, Ni, Zn, Au), chlor-alkali production, and electrolytic recovery of metals.
