Cathode copper, It is a term that refers to a stage of the copper production process. Copper is generally obtained by extracting it from ores and subjected to the refining process. The refining process involves removing other metals and components contained in the copper ore. Cathode copper represents a stage in which copper is purified through electrolysis. In this process, copper sulfate solution is used in an electrolytic cell. Electrolysis allows copper ions to be deposited on the cathode (negative electrode), separating pure copper from solution. The copper sheets or blocks obtained as a result of this process are called "cathode copper". Since cathode copper is generally of high purity and of a certain standard, it is produced for use in industrial applications and electrical transmission systems. The resulting cathode copper can be used in various industries, especially in the electrical and electronic sectors, in the production of copper alloys and many other applications.
