what is eletrolytic refinning
Answers
Answer:
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.

Answer:
Electrolytic 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 Electrorefining
