Abstract: By using dynamic potential method, the influence of technical parameters was studied on the cathode process of electrowinning Pb in Pb2+-OH-- C4H4O2- 6 electrolytic system, and the methods for improving lead electrodeposition efficiency were put forward. The results showed that higher Pb(Ⅱ) content is due to the cooperative effect of [OH]- with [C4H4O6]2- ligands in the electrolyte. The content of NaOH and KNa C4H4O6 in the electrolyte together with mixing ratio between them decide the existing forms of Pb(Ⅱ) and the relative content of its complex compounds. Under proper conditions, higher electrodeposition efficiency can be achieved.
