Hi all.
Anyone know an easy way to Recycle old Feric Cloride.?
eg. could I just drain off all the Green Water once the sedament has gone
to the bottom.?
Or maybee put a couple of electrodes into a vat of it and pass current
through it like a battery to extract the copper.?


Dont know what the reaction was but when I held some everyday Kitched Foil
in the solution it started to react.
Lots of fizzing, and when I removed it there was what looked to be copper
all over it. which was easy to remove with a cloth.
Now Im not sure if that was the foil breaking down or the copper in the
solition trying to find a new home on the foil.?

Any Ideas.?
