    Abstract: The electrochemical cell consists of hollow tube and centralized copper rod. The tubes have first and second ends. The first end cap is used to close the first open end. The anolyte inlet is extended through the first end cap in anolyte compartment and catholyte inlet is extended through the first end cap in catholyte compartment. The anolyte and catholyte compartments are separated by ion exchange membrane fixed over inner hollow tube having holes on the surface. A first Teflon gasket has provision for inlet of anolyte and catholyte tube is secured between first tubes end and first end cap. The copper rod is placed at the center of the tubes acts as cathode. The circular ring works as scrapper to take out deposited copper is provided. A second end cap is used to close the second open. A second Teflon gasket is secured between second tubes end and second end cap. The second end cap has provision for anolyte outlet and comprises a conical dome to collect the deposited copper and transport it along with catholyte. The anolyte trappers and catholyte trappers are connected through the tubes to anolyte and catholyte half cells. The anolyte and catholyte are re-circulated through peristaltic pumps, one on each side.

    Abstract translation: 电化学电池由中空管和集中铜棒组成。 管具有第一和第二端。 第一个端盖用于关闭第一个开口端。 阳极电解液入口通过阳极电解液室中的第一端盖延伸,阴极电解液入口通过阴极电解液隔室中的第一端盖延伸。 阳极电解液和阴极电解质隔室被固定在表面上具有孔的内部中空管上的离子交换膜分离。 第一个特氟龙垫圈具有阳极电解液入口和阴极电解液管固定在第一管端和第一端盖之间。 铜棒放置在管的中心作为阴极。 提供圆环作为刮板取出沉积铜。 第二个端盖用于关闭第二个开口。 第二个特氟隆垫圈固定在第二管端和第二端盖之间。 第二端帽具有用于阳极电解液出口的装置,并且包括锥形圆顶以收集沉积的铜并与阴极电解液一起运输。 阳极电解液捕集器和阴极电解液捕集器通过管连接到阳极电解液和阴极电解液半电池。 阳极电解液和阴极电解液通过蠕动泵重新循环,每侧一个。
