The production of non-ferrous metals can directly obtain pure metals without the intermediate process of smelting crude metals;

Using an insoluble anode to reduce the metal ions to be extracted from the leached and purified electrolyte at the cathode to produce pure metals.Electrolytic metallurgy has already accounted for a large proportion in the wet metallurgy industry.The non-ferrous metals produced by electrolytic metallurgy include Zn,Cd,Cu,Mn,Co,Ni,Cr,etc.

The advantages of electrolytic metallurgy are high selectivity,the ability to obtain high-purity metals,and the ability to recover useful metals.Therefore,it can process low-grade minerals and complex polymetallic ores,which is beneficial for the comprehensive utilization of resources.
