In the continuous electrolytic regeneration of cupric chloride etchant the cuprous chloride is oxidised anodically in a cell while the cathode of the cell recovers the copper as a solid flake deposit. The cell, developed by the Electricity Research Council in the UK is divided by a membrane which limits the transport of copper ions, which are in fact complexed, probably mainly as CuCl3 . An economic analysis of the process realised a two year payback on the capital investment. In the case of alternative etchants, such as ferric chloride, continuous regeneration is also feasible.

See text for details, (b) Electron drift velocity versus external electric field in neohexane, ethane, 2,2,2,4-TMP, and butane at the indicated temperatures. Generally, the field dependence is supralinear, whereas for neohexane, linear variation has been seen up to 140 kV/cm. See text for details.

In Canada, the system is somewhat similar to the United States, in the development of building codes and an electrical code, but the organization developing them is a part of the National Research Council, and not a separate standards developing organization, as in the United States.

I believe in atoms, molecules, and electrons, matter of heaven and earth, and electrical energy its only form. I believe in modern science, conceived by Copernicus and borne out by Newton, which suffered under the Inquisition, was persecuted and anathematized, but rose to be the right hand of civilization as a consequence of the fact that it rules the quick and the dead. I believe in the National Research Council, the communion of scientists, the publication of discoveries, the control of nature, and progress everlasting. Amen.

Such natural services may be interrupted in other ways. If the chemical or sewage plant upstream puts something toxic into the stream that the water treatment plant of the city downstream cannot remove by standard treatments, a new water supply or a new treatment method will have to be found at increased cost. In earlier years before the toxicity of the polychlorinated biphenyls was fully appreciated, General Electric released enough of them into the Hudson River north of Albany, New York that the whole Hudson River from Hudson Falls to New York City is now a Superfund site.7 Fishermen are advised not to eat the fish that they catch. It is not always easy to calculate the cost of a fishery lost to toxic heavy metal ions or acids draining out of a mine site.8 One settlement, involving a salmon fishery in a river in Idaho, was for 60 million dollars. The Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska cost Exxon 3 billion dollars. The persons whose wells become contaminated by leachate from the nearby landfill will face the costs of bringing water from a distance. This was a cost that was not included when the landfill was built. The U. S. National Research Council has recommended that the U. S. Department of Commerce resume development of a method to better measure environmental costs.9...
