In this paper copper is reduced by formaldehyde which is contained in the wastewater of chemical copper plating.The EDTA acid can be recycled after acidulation.Using EDTA
EDTA-Na2 and new chemical copper plating solution are prepared.It is shown that the removal rate of copper is 99.6%.The(EDTA) recovery is more than 98%
and the purity of EDTA-Na2 which is made from EDTA is more than 98.5%.It can be used in industrys of chemical copper plating again.
