Hallâs conduct was first discovered by OGS who then referred the matter to my office and the Office of the State Comptroller. The joint investigation found that a company, owned by a witness known to the Attorney General, overbilled OGS by $419,000 for work performed at state prisons.
1. The positive electrode in an electrolytic cell, toward which negatively charged particles are attracted. The anode has a positive charge because it is connected to the positively charged end of an external power supply. 2.
At the cathode, the dissolved metal ions in the electrolyte solution are reduced at the interface between the solution and the cathode, such that they plate out onto the cathode. The rate at which the anode is dissolved is equal to the rate at which the cathode is plated, vis-a-vis the current through the circuit. In this manner, the ions in the electrolyte bath are continuously replenished by the anode. Other electroplating processes may use a non-consumable anode such as lead or carbon.
