Cuprous hydrometallurgy: Part II. The electrowinning of copper from cuprous sulphate solutions containing organic nitriles
TL;DR: In this article, a scheme for refining crude copper to cathode copper without casting anodes is proposed, in which a diaphragm is necessary if cuprous sulphate is allowed to concentrate in the cell.

TL;DR: In this article, copper is processed via solutions of copper salts, both cupric and cuprous, in acidified aqueous solutions containing organic nitriles, which are thermally or electrochemically disproportionated to produce copper and solutions of cupric salts.

Cuprous hydrometallurgy: Part I. Electrorefining copper via acidic solutions of cuprous sulphate containing organic nitriles
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of nitriles on the cell voltage, optimum current density and role of additives is considered and optimum electrolyte compositions and cell arrangements are proposed for aqueous cupric sulphate electrolytes.
