Electrowinning Unpacked: Powering Metal Recovery with Electrolysis

A clear, concise dive into electrowinning—the electrochemical method used to extract and refine metals from solution. We’ll define the process, distinguish it from general electrolysis, and explain how metals are deposited at the cathode to form high-purity metals. We’ll explore key efficiency factors like current efficiency and energy use, and discuss real-world applications—from copper cathodes to gold recovery and beyond—highlighting how this technology supports sustainable resource recovery.
