Abstract

The energy consumption of the copper electrolysis process is relatively high. Electrical disturbances – like contact failures and short circuits – even increase the energy consumption and also reduce the quality of copper produced. To better understand and improve the process, a computationally feasible and reliable model of copper electrolysis cell group is of great importance. In this paper a multiphysical FEM model of copper electrolysis cell group is presented. A number of simplifications are proposed to make the model computationally feasible.
