(...) aqueous electrometallurgy (...) involves processing of metallic ores, usually of very low metal content but large in volume, by leaching solutions, usually sulfates, to obtain metal-containing electrolytes which can be processed with insoluble anodes and metal cathodes. Examples are found in cadmium, copper, cobalt, manganese, and zinc. 1, record 1, English, - aqueous%20electrometallurgy

L'électrométallurgie par voie humide consiste en l'électrolyse de solutions obtenues par des traitements, souvent complexes, opérés à l'aide de réactifs chimiques. Par cette méthode, comme dans le cas de l'électrolyse ignée, l'électrolyte est dissocié en anions et cations; le métal anion, libéré d’un de ses sels, se dépose à la cathode.(...) Cette technique permet de produire des métaux de haute pureté(plus de 99, 99%) : elle constitue un procédé de base pour obtenir des métaux, tels que le nickel ou le zinc(...) 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectrom%C3%A9tallurgie%20par%20voie%20humide

(...) le cadmium, le zinc pourront être déposés en milieu acide: le fer, le cobalt, le nickel exigeront des solutions faiblement acides (...); le dépôt du manganèse sera accompagné d’un important dégagement d’hydrogène. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectrom%C3%A9tallurgie%20par%20voie%20humide
