Abstract
Results of beaker scale and large laboratory scale experiments on the deposition of manganese from chloride electrolytes using selenium based additives are reported. High cathode efficiencies (85–90%) were obtained at moderate selenium levels (0.03–0.06 gl−1). Selenium pick-up in the deposit was lower when selenium was added as the selenate [Se(VI)].
A cost/benefit analysis of selenium additions is presented.
