How are Copper Cathodes Used in the Petrochem Industry?

Copper cathode is used in the petrochemical industry as a raw material for the production of copper-based chemicals, such as copper sulphate, which is used as a fungicide and herbicide in agriculture, and cuprous oxide, which is used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions.

In addition to its use as a raw material, copper cathode is also used in the production of piping and electrical wiring in petrochemical plants, where it is valued for its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

Overall, the use of copper cathode in the petrochemical industry highlights the versatility and importance of this metal in many industrial applications.
