Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who manufactures high-purity copper using the electrolytic refining method. Performs electrolytic cell operation management, quality inspection, and safety and health management.
Description
Electrolytic copper manufacturing workers are specialists who dissolve copper raw materials in an electrolytic solution and pass an electric current through electrolytic cells to precipitate high-purity copper. Daily tasks include electrolytic cell preparation, electrode installation and replacement, management of current density and temperature, recovery of precipitated copper, adjustment of refining solution concentration, quality inspection (specific gravity measurement and chemical analysis), equipment maintenance and cleaning, and safety and health management. They are also involved in wastewater treatment and environmental measures generated during the manufacturing process, and are required to balance production efficiency with reducing environmental impact.
Future Outlook
While demand for electrolytic copper remains stable, automation and AI-driven process optimization are advancing, increasing the value of personnel with equipment operation and data analysis skills.
