Abstract

Densities, electrical conductivities and viscosities of CuSO4-H2SO4-H2O solutions are reported for electrorefining electrolytes over the ranges: Temperature 50 to 70°C Copper concentration 40 to 55 g · dm-3 H2SO4 concentration 160 to 220 g · dm-3 and for electrowinning electrolytes over the ranges: Temperature 20 to 70°C Copper concentration 10 to 60 g · dm-3 H2SO4 concentration 10 to 170 g · dm-3 Empirical and semiempirical equations describing the measured properties are presented.
