- Rectiformer
A Rectiformer is a
rectifier andtransformer designed and built as a single entity for convertingalternating current intodirect current .Rectiformers are commonly found in Electrowinning operations, where a direct current is required to convert base metal ions such as copper to a metal at the cathode. The passage of an electrical current through a purified copper sulfate solution produces cathode copper. The equation is as follows :
Cu2+aq+ 2e- = Cuo
