Impure copper is less conductive than pure copper. Impurities reduce copper's electrical conductivity. As we know, copper is used in making electrical wires because of its conductive nature. When copper is obtained, it is 99% pure; after electrolytic refining, it becomes almost 99.99% pure. Hence, electrolytic refining is highly significant.
