ABSTRACT Apparatus and methods for the recovery of metal values from an electrolyte in an electrodeposition or electro- winning cell are disclosed. A bottom baffle assembly supporting a plurality of bubble tubes and alignment devices is urged upward from the bottom of the electro- lytic cell. An electrode assembly, consisting of a plurality of anodes and cathodes, spaced apart in an interleaved configuration, has alignment means which cooperate with the alignment devices on the bottom baffle assembly, engages and aligns with the bottom baffle assembly when the electrode assembly in lowered into the electrolyte. Thereby, the bubble tubes are aligned to provide sheets of bubbles between the anode and cathode faces. The invention also features methods and apparatus for separating the electrodes, after the electrodeposition or electrowinning process, by pulling them apart in the horizontal direction to minimize the chance of damage to the electrodes.
