C25 ELECTROLYTIC OR ELECTROPHORETIC PROCESSES; APPARATUS THEREFOR
Description
Class C25 covers electrochemical processes that use electric current to drive chemical reactions, including electrolysis, electroplating, electrorefining, and electrophoretic deposition. It encompasses the industrial apparatus, cells, electrodes, and control systems required for these electrolytic operations, as well as related electrophoretic techniques for coating and material separation. Applications include metal extraction and purification, surface coating, electrowinning, anodizing, and electroforming. Adjacent classes such as C01 (inorganic chemistry) and H01M (electrochemistry cells) address related electrochemical topics but from different technical perspectives.
