Advantages of LowE cathode
- No rodding (No cathode preheating, no cast-iron)
- Use of copper inside the cathode for low CVD and better current distribution
- If desired, same cathode dimensions but higher carbon height above the bar
- Same steel bar outside the carbon cathode for easy implementation
- Easy copper recovery at the end of the cell life
- Improved magneto-hydrodynamic status due to improved current distribution
- Economical benefit

Why using copper instead of steel as collector bar?

LowE technology makes the current density at the cathode surface more uniform, thereby reducing electro-erosion and improving the MHD condition of the cell.
