Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

In electrolytic refining of copper, impure copper is used as the anode, a thin sheet of pure copper as the cathode, and CuSO₄ acidified with H₂SO₄ as electrolyte. On passing current, copper dissolves from the anode and pure copper deposits on the cathode. Impurities like gold, silver fall as anode mud. This yields 99.99% pure copper. Similar process for other metals.
