Abstract
In this research the kinetics of copper cementation on iron was investigated by experimental design (Tagochi method). The significant factors in the order of importance were: copper concentration, time, iron surface, agitation intensity, interaction of pH×copper concentration and pH. The optimum conditions for the selected levels were copper concentration = 7 g/l; time=5 min; iron surface= 62.42 cm2, agitation intensity= 300 s-1 and pH= 1. Estimated performance and confidence interval at this point were 427.557 mg and ±6.932 respectively.
