Insoluble, iridium MMO-coated titanium anodes were first developed in the 1970s and are now used in a variety of applications, including metal electroplating. However due to the high costs associated with the iridium precursor and the sensitivity to corrosion by chlorides, the practical applications so far are limited. A new, recoverable iridium MMO coating has been developed for use in metal recovery with reduced sensitivity to chlorides. The development of this coating as well as practical results achieved in the recovery of metals present in waste streams are presented.
