Electrochemistry of Molten Sulfides: Copper Extraction from BaS-Cu[subscript 2]S

The electrolytic extraction of liquid copper at 1105°C from a molten sulfide electrolyte composed of 57 wt% BaS and 43 wt% Cu[subscript 2]S was investigated. DC cyclic voltammetry, Fourier transformed AC voltammetry, and galvanostatic electrolysis revealed that the electrodeposition of copper is pos...
