High performance

De Nora pioneered the innovative supply of mixed metal oxide (MMO) titanium anodes for the nickel and cobalt chloride leach electrowinning process and continuously develops improvements to manufacture innovative and cost-effective coatings for mixed chloride/sulfate electrolytes.
Nickel and cobalt are indispensable materials for cutting-edge electronic technologies, batteries, aerospace applications and for the production of special steel and alloys. Our DSA® anodes continue to be selected by leading refineries and mining companies for the production of high-grade electrolytic cathodes.

We offer anode package structures designed for product sustainability:

  • Proven coating lifetime & stability
  • Durability in handlng and operation
  • High plant current efficiency to produce cathode quality
  • Optimum electrocatalyst utilization
  • Structures suitable for recoating
  • Lower lifecycle cost
