Sulfuric acid dissolves the copper and many metals coming with it. Solvent-exchange is used to extract valuable metals, in this case copper, through an organic medium and put it in a pure higher grade copper aqueous solution which will undergo electrowining to plate copper on metallic plates
The copper sulfate is the solute and water is the solvent.

a cooking oil machine. my mom purified cooking oil before and you can buy them @ hardware stores usually for around 50.00. but strainers and certain cleansers could work too. :D idle34pizzaz
One of the easiest methods of separation is filtration. You can try this by pouring the mixture through ordinary filtration paper into a container, but this will only work if it is a suspension or colloid, it will not work with a solution. If it is a solution, try evaporation or distillation. Once all the solvent has evaporated you will see bluish green crystals of copper sulfate.
Any mild solvent or "eco" solvent will work fine. They all contain the same active ingredients.
I work and experiment with adhesives all the time, and have not yet found any solvent that will remove epoxies.
Acetone-a solvent.
The inlay work in copper and silver from Andhra Pradesh is usually digging the field mines.
Any light petroleum solvent will work. Roofers generally use mineral spirits - it's reasonably priced and easy to get.An adequate solvent can be also carbon disulfide (CS2).
Grip solvent is definitely the best for re-gripping, but you can use white spirit or petrol, which both work well.

Yes, the compression fittings designed for copper work on both soft and hard copper pipes.
