A rectangular side-by-side fluidized bed electrode for metal recovery from dilute copper solutions was investigated. Because the contacts between fluidized particles and current feeders are particularly important, fin-type current feeders were used to enhance the deposition rate. Polarization curves with a fin-type current feeder were measured at various Rey- nolds numbers. It is shown in the experiments that fin-type current feeders provide higher deposition rates for the same electrode potential than planar current feeders in fluidized bed electrodes.
