Electrolytic refining is performed in an electrolytic bath consisting of an organic solvent bath of cuprous chloride and alkylpyridinium halide having low contents, and the resulting cathode Cu is dissolved in a vacuum, or the cathode Cu is subjected to oxidation treatment and reduction treatment. Gas components such as H, N, O, etc. and trace impurities such as C in Cu are removed by gasification or as oxides by melting in vacuum from 5N to 6N (99,999 to 99 , 9999%)
The above-mentioned high-purity copper can be obtained. Therefore, it is advantageous for the Ag content in the Cu anode to be as low as possible, and it is usually desirable to keep it below 1 ppm. Other impurities may be at the level of commercially available electrolytic copper.
