Copper is one of the chemical elements that is widely used in various sectors nowadays together with the development of civilization especially in agricultural and industrial sectors. Copper is also considered as one of the heavy metals that is commonly present in wastewater. This preliminary study conducted is mainly focused on the techniques of removal of copper in wastewater. There are a variety of approaches for treating industrial effluent contaminated with heavy metals such as copper. Copper separation can be accomplished using a variety of technologies, each of which has advantages that vary depending on the application. Chemical removal techniques that are commonly used for copper removal are adsorption, cementation, membrane filtration, electrochemical method, and photocatalysis. This study compares the fundamentals and performances of the treatment techniques in addition to the future perspective of copper removal in detail. The study highlights the present research in terms of its strengths and shortcomings, pointing out deficiencies that need to be addressed in future studies, pointing to future research prospects.
