The electrorefining process can be used to purify copper, silver, gold, and other metals. The process is often used in conjunction with other methods, such as solvent extraction, to further purify the metal; Why Is Electrorefining Useful? Electrorefining has many advantages over other methods of refining metals.

Copper electrorefining was based on British patents issued to J.B. Elkington in 1865 and 1869. The world's first copper electrorefinery started production in 1869 at Burry Port in South Wales within the Pembrey Copper Works. The Wohlwill process to refine gold was invented in 1874 and the Moebius process to refine silver in …

During the electrorefining process, copper is deposited on the cathode in the form of crystals, which tend to grow into irregular shapes in the form of balls, cones, and thick growths, known as dendrites. This phenomenon is undesirable due to the fact that these forms have the ability to capture anode slime, which can be present in the form of ...

Abstract Electrolytic copper refining allows one to obtain high-purity copper, so analyzing the main ways impurities transition into electrolysis products is a relevant problem. Solving it makes it possible to control the process when changing the composition of raw materials and, as a result, the content of impurities in the anodes. In this work, on …
