The invention discloses a method and device for preparing
metal powder in an electro-deposition manner, and belongs to the field of an electrochemical technology and equipment. According to the method and device,
electrolyte is electrolyzed by adopting
graphite felt or
carbon felt as
anode materials; and the form and the size of the
metal powder deposited at cathodes can be adjusted by adjusting working currents. According to the method and device for preparing
metal powder in an electro-deposition manner, the
graphite felt or the
carbon felt, which has an extremely large specific surface area, is adopted as an
anode, so that the
anode can obtain great working currents under the condition that the
electric current density is extremely small, and phenomena of"air curtain" and
electrolytic corrosion of conventional dense anode materials can be avoided; and besides, the
graphite felt or the
carbon felt is easy to
cut and can be spliced, so that the anode is extremely convenient to make; additionally, the
electric current density of the
cathode is increased, so that a
cathode product is changed from compact into loose, the shape of the
cathode product is changed from blocks or tablets into particles or powder, and in terms of form, the cathode product is changed from big to small, and a
metal powder collecting mechanism is facilitated to continuously and automatically collect cathode
metal powder.
