Propose a mechanism to separate CuCl2 and NiCl2 dissolved in water.

The solution is aqueous, and I want to separate CuCl2 and NiCl2 into two separate them from each other. Extraction is preferred, but if that does not work, precipitating is also possible.

Answer #1

Add DMG (dimethyl glyoxime) to the mixture , Ni will precipitate out as red Ni(DMG) complex leaving behind Cu in the solution.

Filter out precipitates of Ni .

Then add NaOH to the filtrate , Cu will precipitate out as white precipitates of Cu(OH)2 . Filter out the Cu precipitates.

Thus Ni and Cu will be separated.
