Short Description:

Cathode copper is electrolytic copper. A thick plate of crude copper (99% copper content) was prepared in advance as the solar pole, a thin plate of pure copper was prepared as the cathode, and a mixture of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and copper sulfate (CuSO4) was used as the electrolyte. After electricity, copper dissolves into copper ions (Cu) from the anode and moves to the cathode. After reaching the cathode, electrons will be obtained and pure copper (also known as electrolytic copper) will be precipitated in the cathode. Iron and zinc, which are active in copper, are dissolved into ions (Zn and Fe) along with copper. As these ions are not difficult to precipitate compared with copper ions, so as long as the potential difference is properly adjusted during electrolysis can avoid these ions precipitate on the cathode. Impurities less active than copper, such as gold and silver, are deposited at the bottom of the cell. The resulting copper plate, called electrolytic copper, is of high quality and can be used to make electrical products. The precipitation at the bottom of the electrolytic cell is compared to “anode mud”. It is rich in gold and silver, which is a very valuable object, and it has a high economic value to take out and reprocess.
