Answer:-

The process of purifying impure metal to obtain pure metal on the passage of electric current is called electrolytic refining.

Metals like copper, zinc, nickel, silver, tin, gold etc., are refined electrolytically.

Anode – impure or crude metal

Cathode – a thin strip of pure metal

Electrolyte – aqueous solution of a metal saltFrom anode (oxidation) – metal ions are released into the solution

At cathode (reduction) – equivalent amount of metal from solution is deposited

Impurities deposit at the bottom of the anode.
