2. Electrolytic process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_process

   Electrolysis is usually done in bulk using hundreds of sheets of metal connected to an electric power source. In the production of copper, these pure sheets of copper are used as starter material for the cathodes, and are then lowered into a solution such as copper sulfate with the large anodes that are cast from impure (97% pure) copper.

3. Hall–Héroult process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process

   In industrial production, AlF 3 is added so that the cryolite ratio is 2–3 to further reduce the melting point, so that the electrolysis can happen at temperatures between 940 and 980 °C (1700 to 1800°F). The density of liquid aluminum is 2.3 g/ml at temperatures between 950 and 1000 °C (1750° to 1830°F).

4. Electrometallurgy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrometallurgy

   The electrolysis can be done on a molten metal oxide (smelt electrolysis) which is used for example to produce aluminium from aluminium oxide via the Hall-Hérault process. Electrolysis can be used as a final refining stage in pyrometallurgical metal production (electrorefining) and it is also used for reduction of a metal from an aqueous metal ...

5. Electrolysis - Wikipedia

   Electrolysis of iron can eliminate direct emissions and further reduce emissions if the electricity is created from green energy. The small-scale electrolysis of iron has been successfully reported by dissolving it in molten oxide salts and using a platinum anode. [52] Oxygen anions form oxygen gas and electrons at the anode.

6. Aluminium smelting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_smelting

   The Hall-Héroult electrolysis process is the major production route for primary aluminium. An electrolytic cell is made of a steel shell with a series of insulating linings of refractory materials. The cell consists of a brick-lined outer steel shell as a container and support. Inside the shell, cathode blocks are cemented together by ramming ...

7. Copper electroplating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_electroplating

   Acid sulfate baths contain cupric sulfate as the source of copper(II) ions; sulfuric acid to increase bath conductivity, ensure copper salt solubility, decrease anode and cathode polarization, and increase throwing power; and a source of chloride ions such as hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride, which helps reduce anode polarization and ...

8. Electrowinning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrowinning

   Electrorefining copper. Electrowinning is the oldest industrial electrolytic process. The English chemist Humphry Davy obtained sodium metal in elemental form for the first time in 1807 by the electrolysis of molten sodium hydroxide. Electrorefining of copper was first demonstrated experimentally by Maximilian, Duke of Leuchtenberg in 1847. [2]

9. Copper–copper (II) sulfate electrode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper–copper(II)_sulfate...

   The copper–copper(II) sulfate electrode is a reference electrode of the first kind, [1] based on the redox reaction with participation of the metal and its salt, copper(II) sulfate. It is used for measuring electrode potential and is the most commonly used reference electrode for testing cathodic protection corrosion control systems. [ 2 ]
