Electrolytic Copper
Cu electrolysis uses crude copper (containing 99% copper) pre made into thick plates as the anode, pure copper made into thin sheets as the cathode, and a mixture of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate as the electrolyte. After being electrified, copper dissolves into copper ions (Cu) from the anode and moves towards the cathode. Upon reaching the cathode, it gains electrons and precipitates pure copper (also known as electrolytic copper) at the cathode.
