Various products can be produced using the
<img file="MX339990B_D0016.tif" />
composition of the present invention. One aspect of the present invention is a wash or bath used to treat ingredients used to form the composition. Since the volume of the wash or bath will vary with the particular application, an illustrative example is given to formulate the wash using one gallon (3.78 liters) of acetone. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the amounts of the active ingredients, described in the example, can be scaled, linearly, to formulate larger or smaller batches of the wash.
In an illustrative example shown in Figure 1, at reference number 10, brass is mixed with acetone in a conventional mixer. In the example, approximately 454 grams of brass (approximately 100 mesh or finer) are mixed with one gallon (3.78 liters) of acetone in a conventional mixer at high speed for approximately 10 minutes or until a golden color appears on the surface of acetone when the mixer is stopped at reference number 12, about 2 grams of silver granules are added and mixed. In reference number 14, carbon nanotube material is added and mixed. In the illustrative example, approximately one gram of multi-walled carbon nanotube material is added, and mixed at high speed during
<img file="MX339990B_D0017.tif" />
about 5 minutes. In reference number 16, iron pyrite is added and mixed. In the illustrative example, approximately 33.5 grams of ferrous pyrite having a grain size of approximately 0.125 inches (0.3175 cm) are added and mixed for a minimum of approximately 3 minutes at high speed. In reference number 18, copper is added and mixed. In the illustrative example, approximately 517 grams of copper (approximately 100 mesh or finer) is added and mixed at high speed for approximately 8 minutes until a thick suspension begins to form on the surface after the mixer is turned off. The order in which carbon nanotube material, silver, iron pyrite and copper are added is not critical.
When all the ingredients have been mixed as described, the liquid is screened and can be used as a wash or bath. All of the screened solid matter can be stored for additional use as described herein. Once the materials are processed, the used wash liquid can be collected and recycled by adding it to new batches of the wash liquid.
Once the wash liquid is formulated,
<img file="MX339990B_D0018.tif" />
using it, the constituent materials of the products to be manufactured are washed. A sticky film fuses with the constituent materials. The materials

Constituents are joined together by drying and applying pressure, either in an oven or at room temperature.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the composition is usefully employed in the manufacture of calcium-tin lead anode and cathode electrodes for hydrometallurgical electrowinning (electroextraction) processing applications such as refining processes performed in the mining and battery industry. According to an example of a process for forming an anode described with reference to Figure 2, at reference number 20, a batch of lead is melted. In the Illustrative Example, approximately 635 kilograms of molten lead containing appropriate amounts of calcium and tin as known in the art are provided in a suitable container at a temperature of approximately 427.66 ° C (800 ° F). In reference number 22, brass is treated with the washing liquid described above. In the illustrative example, approximately 9 kilograms of brass granules (approximately 100 mesh) are treated with the wash described above by running them on the granules. The washing liquid is drained and the treated brass granules are allowed to dry. In reference number 24, approximately 2.3 kilograms of iron pyrite powder (granules of approximately 0.025 inch (0.0635 cm)) are treated with the washing liquid,

INDUSTRY).
along with about 0.059 liters (2 ounces) of silver powder (about 100 mesh). In reference number 26, copper is treated with the washing liquid. In the illustrative Example, about 4.5 kilograms of copper granules (about 100 mesh) are treated as above and allowed to dry. In reference number 28, molten lead, ferrous pyrite and copper are added to molten lead. A mold is provided in the desired shape of the anode. A thin layer of approximately 100 mesh brass is sprayed evenly across the entire bottom of the lead casting mold plate, this allows the material to flow evenly from the top to the bottom as the lead is being poured and cooled.
The bottom of the mold is lined with a mixture of the treated materials and the lead is then poured into the mold at reference number 3 0. As the lead-treated anode ingot is cooling, it is removed from the mold at reference number 32 and transported to a rolling press where, at reference number 34, it is laminated to a desired thickness such as approximately 0.635 cm (0.25 inch) and cut to size at defined anodes having desired dimensions such as approximately 0.9144 meters (3 feet) by approximately 1.2192 meters (4 feet) by approximately 0.635 cm (0.25

Anodes formed in accordance with the present invention are more conductive than conventional lead anodes. These anodes are believed to last longer than conventional anodes.
Referring now to Figure 3, a method of forming a copper electrode according to another aspect of the present invention comprises providing a mold made of a size for a particular electrode, placing a first layer of treated material on the mold, placing a first layer of acid resistant polymer such as glass filled nylon in the mold at a height sufficient to cover the first layer of treated material, place a second layer of treated material in the mold over the first layer of acid-resistant polymer, place a copper plate in the mold over the second layer of treated material, place a third layer of treated material in the mold over the plate copper, place a second layer of acid resistant polymer such as glass filled nylon in the mold high enough to cover the third layer of treated material, Place a fourth layer of treated material in the mold over the second layer of acid resistant polymer, heat the mold to approximately 426.66 ° C (800 ° F) for approximately 30 minutes or until the polymer begins to melt, remove the

DT. THE industrial collecting PROPERTY is to provide a conductor with more conduits to both the anode and the cathode, thus providing more current and less voltage drop to the cell.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, electrodes including anodes and cathodes for zinc hydrometallurgical electro-extraction (electro-extraction) processes are formed using substantially the same mixing process as used for the copper anode with only one exception. That exception in substituting substantially equal amounts of additional brass and additional ferrous pyrite in place of copper in reference number 26 of the process illustrated in Figure 2. Brass must be high in zinc content, not copper; A brass composition having about 68.5% copper, about 1.5% lead and about 30% zinc by weight percent has been found to be suitable for this application. The zinc hydrometallurgical electrode is produced using the same process shown in Figure 2 used to form the lead electrode, except that approximately 0.46% silver is replaced by calcium-tin and the modified mixture containing the additional brass and iron pyrite additional, it is used in place of copper.
