Özet

The cementation of copper ions from aqueous copper sulfate solutions by using spherical aluminum metal particles was examined. The effects of the experimental parameters on copper cementation were investigated and evaluated. Reaction rate increases with increasing copper concentration, reaction temperature, stirring speed and decreasing pH. It was observed that the reaction follows the first-order kinetics, and progresses according to the diffusion controlling step.
