Understand: Electrolysis and electrorefining

Distinguish between electrowinning and electrolytic refining.

In electrorefining, an impure metal anode can dissolve while a purer metal is deposited at the cathode. Impurities remain in solution or form sludge; In electrowinning, the metal supply comes mainly from the solution.
