Rate of Cu++ removal from simulated industrial effluents by cementation on rotating zinc cylinder was studied in presence of chelating agents. Parameters studied were; initial Cu++ concentration; type of chelating agents (citric and tartaric acid); speed of rotation; temperature and pH. It was found that the presence of chelating agents inhibits the cementation reaction by a percentage ranging from 9.89% to 34.4% at 20°C. Citric acid has a higher inhibition effect than tartaric acid. The cementation reaction kinetic follows first order kinetics. At pH [less-than or equal to] 2 the chelating agent has a negligible effect on the cementation rate. The activation energy lies between 3.7 to 9.3 kcal/mol indicating a diffusion-controlled cementation mechanism even in the presence of chelating agents. © Faculty of Engineering; Alexandria University;
