Step-by-step solution
Electrolytic refining is a technique that is used for the extraction and purification of metals that are obtained by refining methods. The impure metal is used as an anode and the pure metal is used a cathode. Soluble salt from the same metal is used an electrolyte. Liquation process is used for the purification of the metal, which itself is readily fusible, but the impurities present in it are not, used for the purification of Sn and Zn , and for removing Pb from Zn - Aq alloy. Leaching is a process widely used in
