In Electrorefining the Impure Metal Is Made?

Answer: In electrolytic refining the impure metal is made as anode and the pure metal is made as cathode.

Is produced during electrorefining?

In electrorefining step, impurities like Fe, Ni, Zn get dissolved in the solution while Au, Ag and Pt are deposited as anode mud below the anode.

Which metals are refined by electrorefining?

Electrolytic refining is a process of refining a metal (mainly copper) by the process of electrolysis. As far as the mechanism of the process is concerned, during electrolysis, a large chunk or slab of impure metal is used as the anode with a thin strip of pure metal at the cathode.
