The recovery of copper by iron in copper sulfate aqueous solutions was studies as a function of the external magnetic field and morphologies of iron containing steel samples. Essential retardation of the recovery by the magnetic field was found as well as decrease of iron sulfate solubility in water induced by the field. The retardation is explained by the active participation of inter-domain walls in the recovery and decreasing of their length in the magnetic field. When steel filings were used for the recovery instead of the volume samples the magnetic retardation was not notices. Applications of these results are developed for new methods of lithography of microschemes and restoration of electrical contact wires.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
