One of the metals will dissolve in 50% nitric acid, whilst the other will not. When you have collected and thoroughly washed the metal that will not dissolve, you may send it to me.

Hi Aras,
As Trevor points out, use nitric ... but don't, DON'T send the residue to him ... send it me. He is still working and I'm retired and need some glitter in life.

I separated gold from gold+copper mixture and finally I am having a solution of copper nitrate and now I wish to separate the copper from the solution.
I don't know the separation process for separating copper from copper nitrate. Please guide me in this aspect.
