Copper anodes have to have a certain quality in order to meet the requirements of subsequent electrorefining. The objective of this study is to determine the influences of the casting process and cooling conditions on chemical and physical anode quality. The methodology includes thorough investigations of the anode casting process at Montanwerke Brixlegg AG and corresponding anode samples, alongside temperature measurements in the anode moulds to assess the effect of process parameters. The results reveal that the casting process has significant implications for anode quality, affecting anodic dissolution behaviour during electrorefining. The investigated anodes demonstrated a relatively homogeneous elemental distribution, and variations in physical quality over anode thickness were identified through potential measurements, which showed differences in dissolution behaviour pertaining to different structures and grain sizes. These findings emphasize the importance of optimizing the anode casting process to enhance the efficiency and quality of electrorefining operations.
