Does the EMEW cell release acid mist into the environment?
During conventional electrowinning of metals (e.g. zinc, copper), oxygen bubbles are produced at the anodes. When these bubbles reach the surface they burst, liberating an aerosol of sulfuric acid called acid mist, which can affect the health of operators, the environment and plant infrastructure, The EMEW technology captures ALL gases that can be generated and makes them available for collection and safe disposal or reuse. This feature of EMEW provides significant improvements to the working environment.
