Elektrolysen
Elektrolyse is a process that uses an electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. This is achieved by passing an electric current through a substance, typically an ionic compound in a molten state or dissolved in a suitable solvent, known as an electrolyte. The electrolyte contains ions that can move and conduct electricity. The electric current is supplied by electrodes, usually made of metal or graphite, inserted into the electrolyte. These electrodes are connected to a direct current power source.
The electrode connected to the positive terminal of the power source is called the anode, and the
Common applications of electrolysis include the production of metals like aluminum and copper, the purification of
