In recent years, a renewed interest in studying the electrochemical corrosion behavior of lead anodes during zinc electrowinning is probably due to the particularly high sulfuric acid concentrations in zinc electrolyte where lead alloy anodes have high cell voltage and high corrosion rate of lead. The high corrosion rate of lead alloy resulted in Pb contamination on zinc deposit. In zinc electrometallurgy, the electrolyte from a zinc-rich ore contains a significant amount of Mn 2+ . Mn 2+  in the zinc electrolyte results in forming an oxide film on lead anodes during electrolysis. Pb-0.7% Ag anode is generally used in the zinc industry. To improve the technical performance and decrease product cost, other anodes, such as Pb-Ca or Pb-Ag-Ca or Pb-Ag-Ti or Pb-Ag-Se alloys were tested. Till now, none of them has succeeded in the substitution of Pb-Ag anodes in the zinc electrowinning. As an alloying element, silver in small quantities is considered because of the benefits that generates on the anode during electrolysis. During zinc electrolysis, lead dissolution into the zinc electrolyte can be harmful to the quality of zinc deposit. However, the lead silver alloy anode can decrease the lead content in the zinc deposit by pre-treated methods such as blasting and preconditioning.
