In this study, the ultrasound which provides the properties of mixing, and surface cleaning effect, the increase of the effective reaction surface area and the enhancement of the effective collision frequency, was used to enhance the recovering efficiency of Cu from the Cu-ion containning waste water. The ultrasonic reactor used in this study was designed and constructed for improving the disadvantage of the existing ultrasonic reactor. From the experimental result and its analysis, we obtained following conclusions. 1. The ultrasound increased the rate of electrochemical deposition to 582.2% in maximum at the condition of $0.1M-CuSO_4$, and 2.1 V-overpotential. 2. The enhancement effect of ultrasound induced by the reduction of diffusion layer thickness was 277.8% in maximum and induced by the other effect except for the reduction effect of the diffusion layer thickness was 253.6% in maximum at $0.1M-CuSO_4$ and 2.1V overpotential. 3. This study gave the possibility of the scale-up of ultrasonic reactor and in particular, ultrasonic reactor would be effective in the treatment of waste water containning a low concentration of Cu ion.

세계적으로 구리약제에 대해서 저항성을 나타내는 균주들이 발견되있으며, 이들은 구리약제의 방제효과를 감소시켰다. 국내에서도, 구리 저항성 균주 Xanthomonas campestris. pv. vesicatoria HN94-2, -3, -4, -5, -6 들이 천안지역의 고추재배지에서 처음으로 분리되었으며, 이들 균주들의 nutrient agar에서 황산구리(CuSo\ulcorner)에 대한 최소억제농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)는 1.4~1.6 mM이었다. 이들은 모두 황산아연(ZnSO\ulcorner)에 대해서는 감수성을 보여, 구리저항성 균주에 대한 방제약제로서 아연 함유 약제를 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 분리된 균주중 HN94-2와 HN94-6을 이용하여 접합(conjugation)을 통해 구리저항성의 전파를 실험한 결과, 이들 두 균주 모두 구리감수성 균주에게 4.3$\times$10\ulcorner에서 1.0$\times$10\ulcorner(transconjugant/donor)의 정도로 구리 저항성이 전이되었다. 이들 HN94-2와 HN94-6 균주의 구리정항성 유전자들은 약 200 kb 정도의 커다란 플라스미드(plasmid)에 존재하며, 이들은 각각 pXVK9402와 pXVK9406이라 명명되었다.

Generally, $H_2SO_4$ and Cu metal are used as raw materials for producing copper sulfate. The study relates to a method for producing copper sulfate using electrowinning from a waste solution of copper chloride. Uses are used for copper plating for industry, plating, feed, agriculture, electronic grade PCB. Conventional methods for producing copper sulfate have a problem of a large amount of waste water and a high energy cost. A study on the production method of copper sulfate ($CuSO_4$), which is the most used among copper (Cu) compounds, has a low process operation ratio, a small amount of waste water, and a simple manufacturing process. It is easy to remove Na, Ca, Mg, and Al as impurities by using a cationic membrane. At the same time, high purity copper powder could be recovered by an electrowinninng method. Using the recovered copper powder, high purity copper sulfate could be produced.

In this study the nanofiltration (NF) membrane treatment of a sulfuric acid waste solutions containing copper ion ($Cu^{+2}$) discharging from the etching processes of the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing industry has been studied for the recycling of acid etching solution. SelRO MPS-34 4040 NF membrane from Koch company was tested to obtain the basic NF data for recycling of etching solution and separation efficiency (total rejection) of copper ion. NF experiments were carried out with a dead-end membrane filtration laboratory system. The pure water flux was increased with the increasing storage time in sulfuric acid solution and lowering pH of acid solution because of the enhancement of NF membrane damage by sulfuric acid. The permeate flux of acid solution was decreased with the increasing copper ion concentration. Total rejection of copper ion was decreased with the increasing storage time in sulfuric acid solution and copper ion concentration, and lowering the pH of acid solution. The total rejection of copper ion was decreased from initial 37% to 15% minimum value.

SelRO MPS-34 4040 NF membrane from Koch company was tested to obtain the basic NF data for recycling of etching solution and separation efficiency (total rejection) of copper ion. NF experiments were carried out with a cross-flow membrane filtration laboratory system. The permeate flux was decreased with the increasing copper ion concentration in sulfuric acid solution and lowering pH of acid solution, and its value was the range of $4.5{\sim}23L/m^2{\cdot}h$. Total rejection of copper ion was decreased with the increasing copper ion concentration, lowering pH of acid solution and decreasing cross-flow rate. The total rejection of copper ion was more than 70% at the experimental condition. The SelRO MPS-34 4040 NF membrane was represented the stable flux and rejection for 1 year operation.

Microbiological sulfate reduction is the transformation of sulfate to sulfide catalyzed by the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria using sulfate as an electron acceptor. Low solubility of metal sulfides leads to precipitation of the sulfides in solution. The effects of microbiological sulfate reduction on in-situ precipitation of arsenic and copper were investigated for the heavy metal-contaminated soil around the Songcheon Au-Ag mine site. Total concentrations of As, Cu, and Pb were 1,311 mg/kg, 146 mg/kg, and 294 mg/kg, respectively, after aqua regia digestion. In batch-type experiments, indigenous sulfate-reducing bacteria rapidly decreased sulfate concentration and redox potential and led to substantial removal of dissolved As and Cu from solution. Optimal concentrations of carbon source and sulfate for effective microbial sulfate reduction were 0.2~0.5% (w/v) and 100~200 mg/L, respectively. More than 98% of injected As and Cu were removed in the effluents from both microbial and chemical columns designed for metal sulfides to be precipitated. However, after the injection of oxygen-rich solution, the microbial column showed the enhanced long-term stability of in-situ precipitated metals when compared with the chemical column which showed immediate increase in dissolved As and Cu due to oxidative dissolution of the sulfides. Black precipitates formed in the microbial column during the experiments and were identified as iron sulfide and copper sulfide. Arsenic was observed to be adsorbed on surface of iron sulfide precipitate.

Optimum condition for neutralization has been studied to remove the copper and zinc ions from spent sulfate solutions which resulted from the acid washing of the base of brass bulb. Chemical distribution of copper and zinc species and the variation of solubility of the two ions with solution pH were obtained by considering the complex formation reaction and mass balance. Removal percentage of zinc was more sensitive to solution pH than that of copper. This results from the fact that the solubility of zinc is higher than that of copper. The form of coagulant affected little the removal percentage of zinc, while addition of coagulant as the phase of solution resulted in higher removal percentage of copper than as the phase of solid.

The smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries results in metallic alloys of cobalt, nickel, and copper. To develop a process to separate the metallic alloys, leaching of the metallic mixtures of these three metals with H₂SO₄ solution containing 3% H₂O₂ dissolved all the cobalt and nickel, together with 9.6% of the copper. Cyanex 301 selectively extracted Cu(II) from the leaching solution, and copper ions were completely stripped with 30% aqua regia. Selective extraction of Co(II) from a Cu(II)-free raffinate was possible using the ionic liquid ALi-SCN. Three-stage cross-current stripping of the loaded ALi-SCN by a 15% NH₃ solution resulted in the complete stripping of Co(II). A process was proposed to separate the three metal ions from the sulfuric acid leaching solutions of metallic mixtures by employing solvent extraction.

티오요소류, 폴리에테르류, 염료와 같은 유기화합물이 첨가된 황산동 전기도금욕에서 석출된 구리의 광택, 평활력효과를 무첨가욕과 기존 광택제가 첨가된 도금욕에서와 각각 비교하여 이들 유기첨가제가 구리의 석출상태와 음극분극에 미치는 영향을 Hull cell 실험과 현미경관찰, 전기화학적 측정방법에 의해 고찰하였다. 황산동 전기도금욕에서 thiourea, 2-mercapto-2-imidazoline, 1-acetyl-2-thiourea와 같은 유기 황화합물은 비교적 고전류 밀도 범위에서 결정성장이 억제되고 입자가 미세한 구리석출을 일으켜 양호한 광택효과와 평활력을 가져오나, 특히 저전류밀도에서는 해로운 줄무늬가 발생한다는 점에서 많은 개선의 여지가 필요하다. 그러나 이들 유기 황화합물에 1,3-dioxolane polymer와 소량의 염소 이온을 혼합 첨가할 것 같으며 넓은 전류밀도 범위에서 양호한 광택과 평활력이 있는 동석출을 얻을 수 있었다.
