Operation Characteristics of the Series System for Electrolytic Refining of Copper

In the copper electrolytic refining operation, two main objectives are desired: the first is the production of a metal of desired chemical composition and physical characteristics, and the second is the recovery of the valuable by-products.

The Characteristics of the Electrolyte in the Series System of Electrolytic Copper Refining

Almost everyone is familiar with the tremendous importance of copper in our everyday life. One of the pro­perties of copper which determines its great usefulness to mankind is its electrical conductivity. This property alone has more to do with the prominence of copper among useful metals then does any other.

The Casting of Anodes for the Series System of Electrolytic Copper Refining

The electrolytic refining process, while usually considered an auxiliary process used in conjunction with pyrometallurgical extraction, deserves a special niche in the complex metallurgy of copper. The development of electrolytic copper refining, for example, is largely responsible for the prominence of the electrical industry. Conversely, it could be stated that the electrical industry played an important part in the development of the copper industry.
