Small Automatic Copper Electrolysis Refining Machine 2kg Per 24 Hours
Rotating cathode copper cell that also drops gold silver palladium and platinum into the anode mud
- Product nameSmall Copper Electrolysis Refining Machine
- FunctionRefining 60% purity copper to 99.9% or 99.99% copper, separating gold, silver, palladium and platinum
- Capacity2kg/24 hours (other sizes customised to requirement)
- Voltage220V
- Rectifier6V/150A
What This Machine Does
This machine refines copper of 60% purity to 99.9% or 99.99% copper.
At the same time gold, silver, palladium and platinum remain in the anode mud and are separated for recovery.
The feed can be cast copper plates or copper slag loaded into the surrounding titanium basket.
What You Get
- Copper is upgraded to 99.9-99.99% while the precious metals concentrate in the anode mud.
- Modularisation means zero technical requirements to run it.
- Low power, ready to use as soon as it is switched on, with voltage and current stabilisation.
- Low-voltage high-current technology reduces power consumption and maximises recovery of metal ions from the solution.
Who Buys It
- E-waste processors with copper bearing residues that carry precious metals
- Small refiners running a combined copper and precious metal line
- Metallurgical laboratories and pilot plants
- Workshops that want modular equipment with no specialist operator
What It Fixes
- Impure copper that carries gold, silver, palladium and platinum is often sold as one mixed lot at copper price.
- Refining copper without capturing the anode mud throws the precious metals away.
- Conventional refining plant needs skilled operators and a large power supply.
- High voltage low current setups waste electricity and leave metal ions in solution.
How It Is Built
- Rotating cathode titanium cylinder
- Copper plate anode up to 150 x 368 x 20 mm, or copper slag in a titanium basket anode
- Dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte
- 6V/150A rectifier
- Timing, temperature and high current alarm functions
- Circulating water tank configurable to requirement
- Anti-corrosion PLC control panel and zero liquid leakage housing

Running The Machine
Step
Cast copper of 60% purity into plates, or load copper slag into the surrounding titanium basket, and set it as the anode.
Step
Fill the cell with dilute sulfuric acid electrolyte.
Step
Switch on; the machine is ready to use immediately with voltage and current stabilisation.
Step
During electrolysis Cu2+ gains electrons at the cathode and deposits as copper above 90% purity on the titanium cylinder.
Step
Clean the anode mud, then reduce and oxidise it in a medium frequency furnace to obtain precious metal alloy blocks.
Step
Water break the alloy blocks and separate by precious metal liquid extraction to refine the individual metals.
Questions About The Small Copper Electrolysis Refining Machine 2kg Per 24h
What copper purity does it accept?
60% purity copper, either cast into plates or loaded as copper slag into the titanium basket.
What happens to gold, silver, palladium and platinum in the feed?
They remain in the anode mud, which is cleaned and then reduced and oxidised in a medium frequency furnace to give precious metal alloy blocks.
What copper purity is achieved?
99.9% or 99.99% copper. Copper adsorbed on the rotating cathode during electrolysis is above 90% purity.
What is the maximum anode plate size?
150 x 368 x 20 mm.
What alarms does the control system have?
Timing, temperature and high current alarm functions.
Does it need a specialist operator?
No. The machine is modular with zero technical requirements and is ready to use once powered on.
