Abstract:
1,126,713. Etching. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS. Inc. 31 Dec., 1965 [31 Dec., 1964], No. 55445/65. Heading B6J. [Also in Divisions C1 and H1] Copper is separated from a different metallic material by selective dissolution, the material to be separated being exposed to a nitric acid solution that will selectively attack copper at one concentration and will attack the other material at another concentration. Copper may be separated from its mixture with an iron-nickel-cobalt alloy by selectively removing the copper by use of a nitric acid concentration in excess of 10À5 N, preferably 12 N or greater, whilst the alloy can be removed by the use of a nitric acid concentration of 1À5 N.
