Answer:
Copper(II) sulphate solution is the electrolyte. Copper dissolves at the anode: Cu → Cu2++2e, and is deposited at the cathode. The net result is transfer of pure copper from anode to cathode. Gold and silver in the impure copper form a so-called anode sludge at the bottom of the cell, which is recovered.
