Two electrodes are placed in a bath of a copper electrolyte (E.g copper sulphate. This contains free ions vital to the process). The anode, one of the terminals, is coated in the impure copper, and the cathode, the other terminal, has a small amount of pure copper on. The electrodes are connected to a DC circuit, with the cathode on the negative side and the anode on the positive. The copper in the anode's lump of impure copper works as a carrier of the current through the electrolyte substance, as an ion, and is carried over to the cathode, where a very nearly pure (Around 99.97 %) copper substance is found.
Hope this helps =P
