Question

what is Electrolytic refining ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

ectrolytic refining is a process of refining a metal (mainly copper) by the process of electrolysis. As far as the mechanism of the process is concerned, during

electrolysis, a large chunk or slab of impure metal is used as the anode with a thin strip of pure metal at the cathode. In this setup, an electrolyte (metal salt aqueous solution) depending on the metal is often used.

The clean or pure metal is formed at the cathode when the electrical current of a sufficient voltage is applied by dissolving impure metal at the anode. Electrolytic refining is also sometimes referred to as

Answer 2

Answer:

refining of a metal (such as copper) by electrolysis, the crude metal used as the anode going into solution and the pure metal being deposited upon the cathode. — called also electrolytic refining.
