Description

Cooling towers play an important role in the production of metals by means of electrowinning. These towers are subject to severe operating conditions, and hence, standard cooling tower designs and practices are often not applicable. This paper reviews the operational requirements and conditions applicable to electrolyte cooling towers, specifically zinc electrolyte towers. Aspects covered include the physical factors influencing electrolyte cooling, cooling tower design, coupling of cooling towers to ventilation systems and environmental compliance requirements.
