Recycle Titanium Anode Scrap from the Electroplating Plant
Jan. 08, 2026
Titanium anodes are a key component of electroplating tanks, coated with precious metal oxides such as ruthenium and iridium, used to catalyze reactions and improve plating quality. With use, the coating gradually wears down, eventually becoming scrap. This article will help you understand titanium anode scrap and its recycling value.
How to Differentiate Different Types of Titanium Anode Scrap?
Classification by Coating Type
Ruthenium-based: Ruthenium-iridium, ruthenium-iridium-tin, etc., oxygen-evolving anodes
Iridium-based: Iridium-tantalum, modified iridium-tantalum, etc., chlorine-evolving anodes
Platinum-based: Platinum, platinum-iridium, etc., high-end applications
2. Classification by Industrial Use
Electroplating industry: High requirements for plating quality, iridium-based coatings have outstanding value
Wastewater treatment: Requires corrosion-resistant coatings
Electrolytic seawater: High demand for chlorine-evolving anodes
