Copper Electrowinning. Typical of electrowinning from aqueous solutions is copper electrowinning. The electrolyte entering the cells contains 25–60 g l-1 of copper, 50–180 g l-1 of sulfuric acid, and 5–10 g l-1 of iron salts (Habashi, 1998). It is produced by leaching of copper ores, with solution purification by solvent extraction.

Metal Recovery Processes | SpringerLink

Electrowinning is the electrolytic process of "winning" or recovering dissolved metal using an applied potential. An example of an electrowon copper plate is shown in Fig. 7.1. This process is practiced extensively in the metals industry. Copper, zinc, and gold, as well as other metals are produced by this process.
