Electrolytic Refining / Electrolysis :

  • It is the process of purification of the metal obtained after reduction.

  • Various methods for refining are employed but the most common one is the electrolytic refining.

  • In this process, a thick block of impure metal is used as anode and a thin strip of pure metal is used as cathode.

  • A solution of metal salt is used as an electrolyte.

  • When ELECTRIC current is passed metal ions from electrolyte are reduced as metal which get DEPOSITED on the cathode.

  • An equivalent amount of pure metal from the anode GETS oxidized due to metal ion and goes into the electrolyte and from there it goes to cathode and deposit.

  • This cycle is repeated until whole of the metal Ion from impure block is dissolved and deposited on cathode.

  • The soluble impurities GO into the solution WHEREAS the insoluble impurities settle down below anode and are known as anode mud.
