Carbon anode in nickel electrodeposition.

Hi, I would like to recover my nickel from nickel sulfate solution.
And in my nickel electrodeposition experiment, i use carbon as anode
because of its undissolving properties solution that will not
contaminate the electrolyte and also it is cheap. However, it is
easier to be decomposed than nickel and SST anode while the
electroplating is running.
In the industrial area/ metal recycling company, will they also use
carbon as anode to recovery metal? Or is it possible to use carbon
anode and by adjusting the parameter of electrolyte make the carbon
anode performing its perfect electrodeposition?
