Abstract

See full text

A process for purifying copper sulfate solution by converting contained hexavalent selenium to tetravalent selenium which is amenable to removal from solution by heating and maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of about 135.degree. to 220.degree. C. under a non-oxidizing atmosphere in the presence of bivalent iron. The converted selenium is removed from the solution either by co-precipitation with ferrous iron oxidized and hydrolyzed to ferric oxide at a temperature in the range of 135.degree. to 220.degree. C. and under an oxygen pressure of about 140 to 450 kPa or by cementation with a metal powder at a temperature in the range of about 25.degree. to 85.degree. C. at about ambient pressure under a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
