electrometallurgy [i′lek·trō′med·əl·ər·jē] (metallurgy) Industrial recovery and processing of metals by electrical and electrolytic procedures. Electrometallurgy The branch of process metallurgy dealing with the use of electricity for smelting or refining of metals. The electrochemical effect of an electric current brings about the reduction of metallic compounds, and thereby the extraction of metals from their ores (electrowinning) or the pu-rification of the metals (electrorefining). In other metallurgical processes, electrically produced heat is utilized in smelting, refining, or alloy manufacturing.
