SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on effective methods for dissolving solid Copper(I) chloride without damaging ceramic-coated samples. Participants recommend hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonia as effective solutions. Additionally, acetone is mentioned as a viable alternative, although its effectiveness may vary. EDTA is noted for its slow action, making it less desirable for this application.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Copper(I) chloride chemistry
  • Familiarity with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonia as solvents
  • Knowledge of ceramic coatings and their chemical resistance
  • Basic principles of solubility and dissolution processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the chemical properties and solubility of Copper(I) chloride
  • Explore the use of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in metal dissolution
  • Investigate the compatibility of various solvents with ceramic coatings
  • Learn about alternative chelating agents to EDTA for faster dissolution
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, materials scientists, and anyone involved in the handling or processing of Copper(I) chloride and ceramic materials.

Hi All

I have a question regarding what type of chemical/solution that is recommended to dissolve solidified Copper(I) chloride around a ceramic coated sample. I know HCl and ammonia both works well with the copper(I) chloride). However, I don't want to damage the sample. I have tried EDTA but it works in a really slow manner. Any suggestion what kind of solution that could work?

Thank you all for your time and attention

Alex

Copper(I) salts tend to be stubborn but I have a recollection that acetone wasn't too bad when I tried once.
