Question

name the electrolyte used in electrorefining of copper​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\textbf{Electrowinning, also called electroextraction, is the electrodeposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution via a process commonly referred to as leaching. Electrorefining uses a similar process to remove impurities from a metal. Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the economical and straightforward purification of non-ferrous metals. The resulting metals are said to be electrowon.}$

Answer 2

Answer:

There is pure form of copper on cathode and impure form of copper on anode. Cathode is thinner than anode in the beginning of the electrolysis. There is solution of

So, electrolyte is copper sulphate.

Electrolyte

It is a solution which is used in electro refining of metals.

Different electrolyte are used as per different metals
