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

How can you separate copper sulphate powder from water?

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.
