Abstract
Abstract THE REMOVAL OF COPPER FROM AQUEOUS COPPER-CONTAINING SOLUTIONS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY PASSING AN AQUEOUS COPPER-CONTAINING SOLUTION AT A PH OF ABOUT 6.5 TO 10.5 THROUGH A COLUMN CONTAINING A HIGHLY STRESSED FORM OF FERROUS METAL WHICH HAS BEEN ACTIVATED BY TREATMENT FIRST WITH A DEGREASING AGENT AND THEN WITH AN INORGANIC ACID. A FERROUS METAL COMPLEXING AGENT ADDED TO THE AQUEOUS COPPER-CONTAINING SOLUTION PRIOR TO PASSAGE THROUGH THE COLUMN OF METAL PREVENTS FERROUS ION PRECIPITATION IN THE TREATED SOLUTION.
