An apparatus for electrolytically extracting metals from salts in solution including a novel cathode structure which greatly increases the rate of extraction is disclosed. More specifically, the novel cathode structure comprises a shaft having a plurality of flexible circular members mounted in spaced relation thereon. The members have impellers thereon for circulating the solution about the anodes and cathodes. The concave members are sufficiently flexible that they may be easily everted so as to cause the metal deposited thereon to pop off. One preferred embodiment includes a tube inlet which prevents plating of silver in a connected feed tank.
