Teknik elektrokimia Electrorefining An electrochemical technique suitable for refining metals produced by electrowinning or smelter. The anode is the impure metal

Teknik elektrokimia Electrorefining a piece of impure metal is made the anode of the cell. It is oxidized to the cation and then reduced to the pure metal at the cathode. Electrorefining technique is used to obtain ultrapure silver, lead and copper.

Teknik elektrokimia Electrorefining Impure metal is oxidized at the anode and pure metal is reduced at the cathode.
