Mechanisms of Acid Mist Formation in Electrowinning

Acid mist is generated during electrowinning in the final stage of hydrometallurgical production processes of metals including copper, zinc and nickel. Acid mist poses a serious health hazard to the workers. It also results in severe structural and equipment corrosion, costing the industry millions of dollars every year. This book examines the effect of various operating parameters on the amount of acid mist, the effectiveness of commonly used acid mist suppression techniques, and the size and characteristics of the bubbles that generate acid mist.
