A set of governing equations ...
Electrowinning or Electroextraction is an electrolytic process used for recovering metals, like gold, silver and copper from a solution. In this process, electrons from an electric current chemically reduce metal ions, forming a solid metal compound on the cathode (the negatively charged electrode). The deposited metal takes a form that can be easily smelted into a more usable form.
Electrowinning of a metal is based on the electrolysis of aqueous solutions or melts of metal salts with insoluble anode1,2.
