Hallo.I read a little about copper electrolysis and have a question.If i use for power supply a 6volt battery with 3amber outcome will my tab work?

 

[Ckbouda]

Also about the electrolyte i can't find 2HSO4.Can i use something else like drain cleaner?or washing powder?

I'm not really sure what you mean about "tab".
What is your feedstock?
It should be better than 95% pure before electrolysis.
And of course cast into proper anodes.

You mean H₂SO₄ Sulfuric acid I presume?
And no you can't just use random chemicals.
You really need to study some more.

If i make a mix of distilled water and an excess of salt will it work as an electrolyte?

Nothing about tab here only table and table salt.

There are two ways to do it, one is with Copper Nitrate, which is almost not used at all and Copper Sulfate.
You still need 95% ish Copper to start with.

The other metals will be in the residue/slimes after the electrolysis.
The Copper often has more value than the other metals.

So which other metals do you have in there?

There are literally a lot of post regarding the Copper cell in here.
And the Copper is important as it is a valuable metal.
