Copper cathodes are the result of the processing of copper-containing ore, as well as recycled copper raw materials. The basic technology for the production of copper cathodes is the technology of electrolytic refining of copper by its deposition on titanium matrices. The use of this technology, as well as an additional four-stage washing of the precipitate, make it possible to obtain copper cathodes of very high purity.

Copper Cathodes
Two types of copper cathodes are produced in production:
- Cathode sheets of the form factor 4-6x860x1000 mm, weighing about 37 kg.
- Two cathode sheets soldered together 4-6x885x1000 mm in size, weighing about 75 kg.
The resulting copper cathodes are used in the manufacture of ingots, wire, tires, copper wire, electrolytic copper powders and other wrought semi-finished products.
Cathode copper should be stored in a dry warehouse, in a horizontal position with a canopy and separately from chemically aggressive substances. Finished products are formed into pallets in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents. The mass of a pallet with cathodes usually does not exceed 1500 kg, and its height is not more than 500 mm. Copper cathodes can be transported by any kind of indoor vehicle.
