American Carbon Co. specializes in anodes for corrosion prevention as well as advanced raw & semi-fi

02/04/2026

Deposits are getting tougher. Grades are getting lower. And in precious metals recovery, “good enough” leaves money behind.

That’s why more operators are moving beyond legacy lead-based anodes and upgrading to MMO / DSA anode technology—to improve yield, purity, uptime, and energy efficiency in electrowinning + electrorecovery circuits.

In our latest technical article, we break down:

-How anodes actually impact recovery performance (cell voltage, current distribution, product quality)

-Why MMO on titanium is becoming the modern standard for oxygen-evolving duty

-The real value of custom anode geometry (mesh, plates, corrugated, perforated) for mass transfer + gas release

-How the right coating system can reduce breakdown products, impurities, and environmental burden

-What to evaluate when specifying anodes for Au, Ag, and PGM recovery electrolysis

At American Carbon Company (ACC), we design BADGERCHROME™ MMO anodes engineered for demanding recovery environments—helping operations recover more and stabilize performance when every gram matters.

Did you know?

Graphite anodes were the first inert cathodic protection anodes commercially available. Originally, graphite anodes had a relatively narrow application base, but with new denser graphite, and wax and resin impregnation, graphite anodes of today are much more durable and versatile.

Graphite anodes that have not been impregnated with a wax or resin treated (ACC products 10-301 and 10-401) are not suitable for most installation methods as sold. The high porosity of these anodes can allow water to infiltrate the anode interior, causing sloughing and excessive loss of material or disconnection from the power source. This reaction often will cause damage to grain boundaries and physical damage due to gas generation. In any case, these problems will likely cause an increase in consumption rate or electrical connector corrosion and failure. American Carbon does not recommend installing these bare, non-impregnated anodes without a treatment method – these anodes should be treated by the customer with some method before installation.

BADGERCOAT Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) Anodes provide superior cathodic protection in impressed current systems (ICCP), delivering exceptional durability, high conductivity, and long service life. Built on a titanium substrate and coated with advanced iridium oxide (IrO₂) or ruthenium oxide (RuO₂), these anodes ensure low consumption rates and stability in chlorine gas environments, making them ideal for seawater electrolysis, offshore structures, and high-chloride applications. Designed for pipelines, underground storage tanks, reinforced concrete, and marine protection, BADGERCOAT MMO anodes meet ASTM and NACE standards, offering a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for corrosion control.

Every water utility across North America needs to consider the life expectancy of their water distribution infrastructure. The foundation of North America’s standard of living is potable drinking water just a turn of the k**b away from nearly every person. Miles and miles of pipelines and storage tanks distribute water through locally managed water utilities to support this mission. Water utilities with forward thinking administrators include some form of Cathodic Protection in both their distribution network as well as their storage tanks to increase the life of the system. American Carbon BADGERCONNECT Extruded Magnesium Anodes are a prime solution for these applications.

Did you know?

American Carbon has been providing BADGERCORD Zinc Ribbon to North America and other global markets for nearly 15 years. However, we learned early in the trial stage that our zinc ribbon, that although it met all of chemical, electrochemical and dimensional requirements of zinc ribbon, was not easily installed in all field conditions.

It was at this time that American Carbon employed the knowledge and resources of the University of Wisconsin – Madison to do some serious metallurgical work on the zinc ribbon. The original non-production version was found to crack when it was flexed excessively or bent into too tight of a radius in cold weather installations. These symptoms can still be seen on some other zinc ribbon anodes that are currently being imported.

Did you know?

American Carbon BADGERCABLE Linear Anodes are an excellent solution for cathodic protection of pipelines, above ground storage tank bottoms, and underground vessels. When compared to a traditional anode groundbed BADGERCABLE offers many advantages including a more evenly distributed current (therefore more efficient protection), ease of installation, and reduced interference with other nearby structures.

Constructed using either a high quality conductive polymer copper wire or a MMO/Ti wire (Shown below) connected at 10 ft intervals, high conductivity coke breeze and surrounded by an acid resistant porous woven fabric sleeve, this anode is durable and easy to work with!

BADGERCABLE anodes capitalize on the high output to surface area of mixed metal oxide by packaging a complete cathodic protection system in an easy to install rope like assembly.
