Metal Smelting and Electrorefining Techniques Explained
Smelting is a process involving the dissolution of pure alumina in a molten mixture of cryolite and fluorspar to extract metals like aluminum. Electrolysis is used to separate the metals where oxygen is liberated at the anode and the metal is deposited at the cathode. This process is illustrated wit
