Abstract
A tumbled-bed electrochemical reactor was described and shown to function well in reclaiming copper from a dilute acid copper system. Copper recovery from a dilute acid copper system was used as the test case and serves as a representative of a number of toxic heavy metal waste waters which constitute a major waste handling problem. A sound electrodeposit was obtained routinely and may be conducive to a stable and low maintenance industrial application. Graphs which approximately represent operating cost-capital cost trends have been presented.
