*There is some discrepancy in the material balance for copper. This is due to the fact that water of hydration in the crystals obtained was not constant, and varied on exposure to the air during handling.

the reduction would be used for making H2SO4 n e c e s s a r y for stripping the organic phase. The cost of evaporating the s t r i p solution to crystaP.ize CuSO 4 9nH20 could be the organic phase is added b e f o r e evaporation instead of adding it to the mother liquor. This is due to the d e c r e a s e d solubility of CuSO4 in the p r e s e n c e of HzSO4. For example, the solubility of CuSO4.5H20 e x p r e s s e d in g/100 g s a t u r a t e d solution is 18.47 in water and in a solution containing 50 g H2SO4/100 g s a t u r a t e d solution is 2.7. s The authors acknowledge with thanks the p e r m i s s i o n granted by The Anaconda Company to publish this work. 1.
