Copper plates at a refinery C018 / 2348
Copper production. Stacks of copper plates at a refinery. These are cathode plates, steel sheets onto which pure copper has deposited by electrolysis. The copper can be easily removed and the steel sheets reused. Photographed at the Norilsk Nickel Combine in the Krasnoyarsk Region of Russia

Cathode Copper Electrical Electrolysis Extraction Heavy Ionic Metal Natural Norilsk Plate Plates Producing Production Purification Resource Russia Russian Sheet Winning Purified
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive sight of copper plates at a refinery in Russia. The image showcases the intricate process of copper production, where stacks of cathode plates are seen neatly arranged. These plates are actually steel sheets that have been utilized as a base for pure copper deposition through electrolysis. The efficiency and resourcefulness of this industrial technique is evident, as the easily removable copper allows for the reuse of these sturdy steel sheets. This photograph was taken at the renowned Norilsk Nickel Combine situated in the Krasnoyarsk Region, known for its heavy metal extraction and production. The picture highlights both the natural beauty and technological prowess involved in purifying this valuable resource. Through electrowinning and electroextraction methods, this Russian refinery successfully achieves high-quality copper purification on an industrial scale. It's fascinating to witness how electrical currents play a pivotal role in transforming ionic compounds into purified metal plates. This visual representation underscores not only Russia's significant contribution to global copper production but also their commitment to sustainable practices within this industry. Captured by RIA NOVOSTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this award-winning photograph encapsulates both the grandeur and precision found within modern-day industrial processes without mentioning any specific commercial use tied to it.
