Name the method used for refining of copper metal.
Open in App
Solution
Electrolytic refining.
Crude copper which is obtained by pyrometallurgical processes is not suitable for any industrial application as it has impurities. These impurities can be eliminated by electrolytic refining. This process works because copper gets more readily oxidised and reduced in comparision to water.
