Study on Electro-Winning of Copper Powder from the Copper Sulfate Solution

Abstract

Electro winning also called electroextraction is the electro deposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution or liquefied. Electro refining uses a similar process to remove impurities from a metal. Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the economical and straight-forward purification of non-ferrous metals. The resulting metals are said to be electro won.
