Electro Refining

This method is based upon the phenomenon of electrolysis. The crude metal is made anode whereas the thin sheet of a pure metal is made cathode. The electrolyte is the solution of soluble salt of the same metal, preferably a double salt on passing electricity the metal from anode goes into solutions as ions due to oxidation while the pure metal gets deposited at the cathode due to reduction of metal ions the impurities settle down below the anode as Anode Mud.
