  U.S. Patent: 5700366 - Electrolytic process for cleaning and coating electrically conducting surfaces - December 23, ...
Electrolytic cleaning (or "electro-cleaning") normally involves the use of an alkaline cleaning solution which forms the electrolyte while the workpiece may be either the anode or the cathode of the electrolytic cell, or else the polarity may be alternated.
The electrolyte is introduced into the working zone between the anode and the cathode by causing it to flow under pressure through at least one hole, channel or aperture in the anode, whereby it impinges on the cathode (the surface under treatment).
In particular, the process may be used to treat a metal in sheet form, for example the zinc coating of ferrous metal sheet or the tin plating of metal sheet, or to treat the inside or outside of a steel pipe, or to treat the surface of a free-standing object.

 Process for electrolytic deposition of metals on zirconium materials - Patent 4137131
This invention relates to a process for electrolytic deposition of a metal layer on zirconium or a zirconium alloy, and more particularly to an improved process for electrolytic deposition of a metal film such as a copper film on the internal surface of a long hollow cylindrical tube of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.
It is an object of this invention to provide a process for the electrolytic plating of an article comprised of zirconium or a zirconium alloy, especially when the article is in the form of a nuclear fuel element cladding comprising a long hollow cylindrical tube of small diameter.
The process broadly comprises a step of activating the article, a step of removing any loosely adhering films formed on the article in the activation step and a step of contacting the article with an electrolytic plating solution containing the metal to be deposited on the article in the presence of an electrode receiving current.

 Intute sciences - >Chemical Sciences: Electrolytic Processes of Metals
Electrolytic industrial processes for metals include the production of metals themselves from their compounds, which is called the electrowinning of metals; the electrolytic purification of metals; and the deposition or electroplating of metals on conducting surfaces.
In the roasting process the iron sulfide is converted to oxide and then by reaction with silicates present to a slag which separates from the copper oxide in the reduction step.
The electrolyte is a concentrated aqueous copper sulfate solution, the anode is a slab of blister copper, and the cathode is a thin sheet of pure copper.

 Electrolytic process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An electrolytic process is the use of electrolysis industrially to refine metals or compounds at a high purity and low cost.
Some examples are the Hall-Héroult process used for aluminium, or the production of hydrogen from water.

 Galv-etching without Electricity
Powered electrolytic processes have the advantage that no precipitate is produced, but it seems that a few etchers are inhibited or intimidated by the idea of having to buy electrical equipment and do calculations based on areas and amperages.
The Galv-On process can only be used electrolytically, because any precipitate or bubbles that are produced cannot be brushed or agitated away, and they stay to clog the lines or texture and stop the etch after a while.
For those willing to tangle with a powered electrolytic process the great advantage is that the electrolyte can be used for years, and one is not limited to etching zinc.

Electrolytic processes are known for a long time, and they are widely used in chemical industry.
Plasma - electrolytic processes have been found quite recently, that’s why there is neither physical, no chemical theory of these processes.
But during the operation of the plasma - electrolytic reactor hydrogen atoms are at continuous influence of alternating electric field, which makes hydrogen atoms be in exited sate, it is proved by availability of a complete set of Balmier spectral lines on a spectrogram.

 Etching without Acid - what is Galv-Etch ?
Galv-etch is an electrolytic process, the principles of which have been known since the early 19th century (see Galvanography - brief history), and the original process was described in 1855 and called electro-etching.
The electrolytic action is not like the corrosive action produced by an acid, and so the range of varnishes, resists and grounds that are effective is much greater, because they must be simply electrically insulating and not acid resistant.
The electrolytic action between the plate (anode) and the cathode is directional at right angles to the face, and so the edge of a resist is not significantly eroded or undercut.

 Electrochemistry Encyclopedia --- Aluminum production
Alumina (aluminum oxide) powder, fed to the electrolytic process, is produced by the Bayer process from bauxite ore. Bauxites contain 40-60% alumina, combined with silica (silicon oxide), iron oxide, and titanium dioxide.
In the Bayer process, the alumina is dissolved in hot sodium hydroxide solution and the iron oxide and other oxides are removed as insoluble "red mud." Aluminum hydroxide is precipitated from the clarified solution by cooling and seeding with aluminum hydroxide crystals.
Hall's first electrolytic cells, or "pots," were of cast iron, 24 inches (~61 cm) long, 16 inches (~41 cm) wide and 20 inches (~51 cm) deep, with a 3-inch (~8-cm) baked carbon lining.

 Lowering Cost of Bio-Ethanol Production Using Electrolytic Process   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The projections show that the electrolytic technology could provide an improvement in economic feasibility for ethanol production in both cases by generating additional revenues from cellulose (pulp) sales, and by reducing energy costs with the fuel credit derived from lignin (biofuel) that is extracted from the bagasse, or the corn cob materials.
The electrolytic plant recovers caustic soda from the liquor generated in the digester where bagasse is treated during pulping process.
The hydrogen produced in the electrolytic cells can be burned at the plant to generate energy, or could be sold as fuel for hydrogen-fueled heat engines, or for use in upcoming fuel cell technologies in the market.

 Charles Martin Hall Page
This process was a costly one owing to the difficulty of preparing water-free aluminum chloride from aluminum oxide, the natural source of aluminum, and to the necessity of making sodium metal by chemical means.(1) In the early 1880's aluminum was a semiprecious metal, but Jewett had a sample of it to show his students.
Hall was as adept in overcoming the obstacles to the commercialization of his new electrolytic process as he was in discovering it.
A lecture-demonstration recreating Hall's original laboratory process was held in Oberlin in 1986 on the centennial of the discovery.

 Film and Processing Forum: Reprocessing silver sludge from electrolytic process?
I've never dealt with a carbon cathode electrolytic unit before: Is the carbon migrating in the process and "contaminating" the silver deposits?
It should be easy to get everything hot enough to burn off all organics in a kiln, won't cost anything if it can be combined with a regular firing (and firing still shouldn't hurt Corningware), and may smelt out the silver for you.
Alternately, if the silver salts you obtain from a lower temperature process aren't soluble, you can probably treat them directly with dilute nitric acid to dissolve the silver; if they are soluble, you can precipitate them by adding table salt to produce silver chloride which can then be redissolved with nitric acid.
