Copper Electrolysis Refine Machine
Scrap copper anodes in at 80 percent, cathode copper out at up to 99.99 percent.
Overview
What This Machine Is
An automatic copper electrolysis refining cell: impure 80 percent copper as the anode, titanium basket and cathode sheet with scraper, copper sulfate electrolyte, a 1000 A / 12 V rectifier and 15 kW of connected load in a 1300 x 800 x 850 mm PP tank.
The problem it is built for
Copper-bearing scrap from a jewelry or plating operation is usually sold at a discount because nobody on site can certify what is in it. Refining it to cathode copper on the premises turns an assay argument into a weighed, saleable product.

Features
What Is Built Into It
Anode dissolves, cathode grows
Impure 80 percent copper is the anode and a titanium plate the cathode. The dissolved copper redeposits as metallic copper at 95 to 99.9 percent.
Running cost published, not estimated
With the electrolyte held at 10 to 20 grams of copper per litre, the electricity budget is 3000 to 3500 kWh per tonne of copper. Lower copper content in the bath means higher consumption per tonne.
15 kW for the whole refine
Intelligent electrolysis control keeps the draw at 15 kW, which is a modest load for a process that ends at 99.9 percent.
Fully anti-corrosion build
PP tank, titanium basket, acid and alkali resistant circulation pump. The design assumption is continuous service in a copper sulfate bath.
Cathode sheet with scraper
Deposited copper is scraped off the cathode rather than requiring the plate to be pulled and stripped by hand.
Applications
Where It Is Used
- Metal recycling plants refining scrap copper to cathode grade
- Jewelry and plating operations recovering copper from their own waste streams
- Mining and metallurgy projects needing a small-scale refining step
- Manufacturing sites producing copper-bearing offcuts in volume

FAQ
Copper Electrolysis Refine Machine Questions
What copper content does the anode need?
More than 80 percent, with as little as possible of the miscellaneous metals that shorten the working life of the electrolyte. Anode size is made to your drawings.
How often does the electrolyte need changing?
It depends on the cleanliness of the feed. Low-copper, high-impurity material can need a solution change every refine; clean high-copper blocks let the solution be reused several times.
What determines the final purity?
The source is explicit: cathode copper purity depends on the cleanliness of the electrolyte. The range quoted is 95 to 99.9 percent, with up to 99.99 percent stated for the function.
Can the capacity be increased?
Yes. 3 to 4 kg per 24 hours is the standard build and the capacity is listed as customisable.
