摘要: A process for generating a metal sulfate that involves crystallizing a metal sulfate from an aqueous solution to form a crystallized metal sulfate in a mother liquor with uncrystallized metal sulfate remaining in the mother liquor; separating the crystallized metal sulfate from the mother liquor; basifying a portion of the mother liquor to convert the uncrystallized metal sulfate to a basic metal salt; and using the basic metal salt upstream of crystallizing the metal sulfate. So crystallized, the generated metal sulfate may be battery-grade or electroplating-grade.

Each cell of the stack comprises a positive electrode plate (110), a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The separator is interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate and configured allow ions to move between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The electrode plate assembly further comprises a plurality of contacting means (140) for electrical monitoring of the cells, wherein each of the plurality of contacting means is electrically connected to at least one of the positive and negative electrode plates of a respective one of the cells and arranged to protrude laterally from a side edge (101, 102, 103) of the cell. The contacting means are distributed spatially along a width (W) of the stack.
