The copper from the anodes are electroplated on to the cathodes, while any impurities settle to the bottom of the tank.
The process involves electroplating, running a current of electricity through a saline/zinc solution with a zinc anode and steel conductor.
Once the original gilding was removed, a 500 microinch (12.700 micrometer) nickel coating was applied to the bronze using brush electroplating.
Evaporation coating with aluminium and electroplating with zinc were shown to not work.
Hulot was an expert at electroplating, and utilized that technique to make the printing plates for the stamps.
Since zinc is electroplated during charge at the negative electrode this system is classified as a hybrid flow battery.
The first major application was electroplating for decorative uses and as corrosion resistant coating.
Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the economical and straightforward purification of non-ferrous metals.
