Selective removal of copper from multication dilute aqueous solutions using the membrane-electrode process

The presence of metallic contaminants (in the form of cations) in wastewater streams has long been a source of concern to process industries. Conventional methods of removal of metallic components from wastewater result in products which have little or no further use and are subsequently landfilled...

Summary:The presence of metallic contaminants (in the form of cations) in wastewater streams has long been a source of concern to process industries. Conventional methods of removal of metallic components from wastewater result in products which have little or no further use and are subsequently landfilled (6). This research involves developing a method, i.e., the membrane-electrode (M-E) process, to selectively recover heavy metals from dilute aqueous waste streams (cation concentrations less than 1000 ppm) in forms that can be recycled. Preliminary results for copper-nickel systems are presented to demonstrate the selectivity of this new treatment method.
