Electrolytic processes(...) fall into two groups : those using an aqueous electrolyte, and those using a fused salt electrolyte maintained at a high temperature. In both, the electrolyte contains a compound that dissociates into metallic ions that are positively charged and therefore move to, and are deposited on, the cathode.(...) Aqueous electrolysis is employed to refine most of the copper recovered by smelting and to produce lead, gold, silver and several less common metals in exceptionally pure form. 1, record 5, English, - aqueous%20electrolysis
