Dear Researchers;
I have some metallic waste,
it is some kind of powdered Copper, we have noticed Iron "attached" to copper particles.
I would like to know if there was a chemical way to separate this "blend" (knowing that it is not possible to separate them by magnetic technics, iron seem to be embedded into the copper powder).
I thought about trying to solubilize the blend and try to precipitate preferentially one of the element. But I was wondering if there was a direct way to solubilize, preferentially the iron without touching the copper.
Thank you for the help

T. H. Al-Noor thanks for the ref,
I don't think it can be applied though, there are talking about separating traces amount of metals by column separation. it seems difficult to use column separation for waste management.
thank you again

You can use sulfuric acid. It dissolves iron while leaves copper almost unchanged.
