Metallurgical Transactions B Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Densities, viscosities, electrical conductivities and specific heats of solutions containing copper, nickel, arsenic, iron and sulphuric acid in the concentration ranges of copper electrorefining and electrowinning electrolytes have been measured. Equations are presented for calculating these properties as a function of electrolyte composition and temperature.
