Ub. Ogutveren et al., ELECTRODIALYSIS FOR THE REMOVAL OF COPPER IONS FROM WASTE-WATER, Journal of environmental science and health. Part A: Environmental science and engineering, 32(3), 1997, pp. 749-761
In this work,the feasibility of the removal of Cu2+ ions in a model so
lution and a sample of rinse water have been studied using a recircula
ting electrodialysis system. Full removal of Cu2+ has been achieved fr
om its dilute solutions and the sample of rinsewater provided from a l
ocal plating plant depending on duration of electrodialysis,applied vo
ltage and flow rate while recovering of copper by forming concentrated
copper solution in the cathode compartment. Thus, another aspect of t
his process is to be able to concentrate rinsewater up to the bath str
ength.
