Electrolytic Refining. The purification uses an electrolyte of copper(II) sulfate solution, impure copper anodes, and strips of high purity copper for the cathodes. The diagram shows a very simplified view of a cell. At the cathode, copper(II) ions are deposited as copper. [ Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- rightarrow Cu(s) label{5a} ]

Copper Co-deposition. Looking at the standard potential of Cu (Cu/Cu 2+ = 0.345 V and Cu/Cu + = 0.522 V), it is apparent that during electrorefining of Ag, Cu will mostly dissolve into and enrich in the electrolyte. Partial occurrence of Cu in the anode slime can be detected. This is more or less due to oxidic Cu present in the crude silver anodes.
In this analysis, we estimate the quantity of tellurium contained in anode slimes generated by electrolytic copper refining by country between 1986 and 2018, including uncertainties. For 2018, the results indicate that 1930 (1500-2700, 95% confidence interval) metric tons of tellurium were contained in anode slimes globally. ...
Electrolytic refining of copper is used as an example to describe the general rule of this kind of electrolysis. The electrolytic system can be expressed as follows: Cathode. Electrolyte solution. Anode. Pure copper. CuSO 4, H 2 SO 4, H 2 O, impurity ion, additive. Blister copper.
Extension experiments for copper refining. After doing the electrolysis as described above, the electrodes can be interchanged. Students can then see the copper disappearing from the surface of the copper-coated anode: Cu(s) → Cu 2+ (aq) + 2e-This leads to a discussion as to why, during electrolytic refining:

Question 3 How will you refine copper by electrolytic refining? Refining. The process of purifying impure metal is called refining of metal. The most important and most widely used method for refining impure metals is called electrolytic refining. Many metals like copper, zinc, tin, lead, nickel, silver, gold are refined electrolytically.
Electrolytic refining of Copper (Cu) In refining a metal such as copper by electrolysis, the crude metal is used as the anode that goes into the solution. The pure metal gets deposited on the cathode, which is called electrolytic refining. In an electrolytic tank, the electrolyte used is acidified copper sulphate (CuSO 4 + dilute H 2 SO 4).
Copper metals can be refined up to 99.99% by electrolytic refining. The anode (positive electrode) is made from impure copper, and the cathode (negative electrode) from pure copper. Copper …

The final step consists of fire refining the blister copper to reduce the sulfur and oxygen to even lower levels. This oxidation-reduction process is usually carried out in a separate furnace to ensure that the final smelter product reaches the level of 99.5 percent copper that is required for electrolytic refining.
Electrolytic refining. This is the last phase in the pyrometallurgical processing as well as the hydrometallurgical processing. During the electrolytic process, copper anodes and starting sheets are submerged in an electrolytic solution that consists of copper sulfate and sulfuric acid. This solution is known as an electrolyte.
The electrolytic refining of copper is done using the apparatus shown in the figure. This is a standard electrolysis setup, where the impure copper (the sample to be refined) is placed as anode and a thin strip of pure copper is placed as a cathode. The electrolyte used is copper sulfate solution.
