Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Nonferrous metal electrolytic equipment operators operate equipment for the electrolytic refining of nonferrous metals such as copper, nickel, and zinc, ensuring stable product purity and quality as technical professionals.
Description
Nonferrous metal electrolytic equipment operators set anodes (raw metal) and cathodes (product metal) in electrolytic cells and perform metal refining through electrolysis using appropriate electrolyte and current. During operation, they measure current density, temperature, pH, specific gravity, etc., and adjust the liquid composition based on chemical analysis. After refining, they recover high-purity metal and conduct equipment inspections, cleaning, and maintenance. They create records and perform work while complying with safety, health, and environmental regulations.
Future Outlook
With the advancement of a decarbonized society, demand for nonferrous metals for electric vehicles is increasing, and job demand is expected to remain stable. With progress in IoT and automation, skills in equipment operation utilizing data analysis and digital technologies will become increasingly important.
