Refining the impure metal by electrolysis is the most widely used process of refining metals . Example , electrolytic refining of copper is carried out in an electrolytic tank having copper sulphate solution in it . . Two electrodes : one of impure copper metal that acts as anode and the other of pure copper metal that acts as cathode are suspended in the electrolytic solution
On passing the electric current through the solution, anode (impure coper ) dissolves to provide Cu2+ ions to the solution . These CU2+ions are discharged by gaining of electrons from the cathode . Thereby copper atoms deposit on the cathode , making it thick block of pure copper metal . The impurities like gold and silver settle down as anode mud
