Different between electrolytic reduction and refining. |
|
Answer» Electrolytic reduction iz used to reduction and to obtain metal while refinning is done to purify metals In electrolytic reduction graphite electrodes are used which are of same size. in electrolytic refining the anode is made of the impure metal which is to be purified and the cathode is made from that pure metal. initially the cathode is thick and the anode is very thin.b. the electrolyte used in electrolytic refining is the metal sulphate with acid (acid id added to increase the conductivity) which is aqueous in nature. whereas in electrolytic reduction molten chloride form of the solution is used |
