Electrolytic refining is a technique that is used for the extraction and purification of metals that are obtained by refiningmethods. When an electric current is passed, pure metal gets deposited at the cathode and the impure metal gets dissolved from the anode.

In electrolytic refining, the plates of crude metal are anodically dissolved in a suitable electrolyte, while “pure” metal is deposited on the adjacent cathodes. The electrorefining process was introduced about a hundred years ago to produce a substitute to fire-refined copper. Today, practically all of the world’s copper production (~8,000,000 metric tons/year) is electrorefined, constituting by far the largest electrolytic refining industry. Much smaller, but also important, are the electrolytic refining industries producing lead, nickel, silver, and other minor metals.
