Electrochemical metallurgical process for extracting metals and sulfur from metallic sulfides

An electrochemical metallurgical process for extracting metals and sulfur from metal sulfides, characterized by the following steps:

• (1) Metal sulfide is transformed into an electrode, known as a metal sulfide electrode;
• (2) The metal sulfide electrode serves as the anode, alongside the insertion of both anode and cathode into the electrolyte at intervals to establish an electrode array for electrolysis, during this process, the sulfur element within the metal sulfide undergoes oxidation and is absorbed in the form of sulfur onto the anode, simultaneously, metal ions migrate into the electrolyte, initiating reduction reactions on the cathode surface, resulting in the formation of metal elements, cathode materials may include titanium, copper, stainless steel, lead, zinc, aluminum, or graphite.
