Removal of copper from a copper sulphate solution using an ultrasonic-electrolysis process.
The application of ultrasonic-electrolysis process for the removal of copper is studied. In the ultrasonic field cavitation acts as jets and agitates the solution and breaks the barrier layer between the cathode surface and the bulk of the solution. Thus increases metal deposition on the cathode surface. The results show that an ultrasonic field is successful for the removal of low copper concentrations in solution.
