| Electrolytic refining | Mining | Suspension of suitably shaped metal ingots as anodes in an electrolytic bath, alternated with sheets of the same metal in a refined state or inert metal, which act as starters or cathodes. Impurities remaining on the anodes are detached as anode slime or are dissolved in the electrolyte from which they must be systematically removed (stripped). (references) | |
