The separation of Cu
2+ and Ni
2+ in an acidic aqueous solution with chelating ion-exchange resin, Dowex A-1, has been studied in the batch. and column processes. In the batch process, the adsorption test was carried out over the range of concentration from 0.001 to 0.1 M. Adsorption of Cu
2+ and Ni
2+ on the resin was influenced by various factors such as specieses of cation, pH value and concentration in the test solution. Although both Cu
2+ and Ni
2+ ions were adsorbed on the resin from the mixed solution, the adsorption ratio of Cu
2+ to Ni
2+ on the resin was increased with increasing the Cu
2+ concentration in the solution. When thequantity of Cu
2+ ion exceeds the exchange capacity of the resin, Cu
2+ion was selectively adsorbed on the resin, and almost all of the Ni
2+ ion remained in the solution. The data obtained from these experiments revealed that the batch process was more useful method than the column process for the selective separation of Cu
2+ from the mixed solution containing Cu
2+ and Ni
2+ ions.
