Electrolytic processes for gold and other precious metals
The electrolytic refining process for gold uses hydrochloric acid as the electrolyte. The anode is made of gold alloy and the cathode is usually a thin sheet of high purity gold. The electric current ionises the electrolyte and transfers dissolved gold from the anode to the cathode, thereby increasing the purity of the gold at the cathode.
