RECOVERY OF ELECTROLYTIC CU FROM CONTAMINATED CUPROUS SOLUTIONS

 The industrial activity in our days produces large amounts of mixtures of diverse substances. We have the wastes of cuprous solutions dumped in aqueous bodies and the earth. Currently, there are chemical methods for the recovery of copper present in those solutions. The problem arises in the economic costs of applying these methods within the industries that produce these polluting solutions. The application of patent methods for the recovery of Cu as nanoparticles is another of the investigations that are taking place. The restoration of copper to produce coatings are methods to be applied in the recovery of copper from contaminating solutions.
