Study on Organic Additive for Electrolytic Manganese

Organic additive T3was employed in manufacture of electrolytic manganese by simulating practical industrial process.The effects of T3dosage,current density,Mn2+concentration and temperature on current efficiency were investigated.The results indicate that the current efficiency is 68.0% under the conditions including Mn2+concentration of 18g/L,T3dosage of 0.010g/L,current density of 430A/m2 and temperature of 40 ℃.The electrolysis should be performed under temperature of 45 ℃ as a higher temperature is unfavorable for electrolysis.
