The big problem today is water pollution with heavy metals that are extremely toxic to the environment and human health. The development of the technology and agriculture industry results in a large amount of copper ions in wastewater. Different biological, chemical and physico-chemical methods are used to remove them. For the simpler and more efficient implementation of the wastewater treatment process, real wastewater is monitored, which follows the parameters of real waste water. This study describes the application of physico-chemical methods of removing copper ions from synthetic wastewaters by optimizing parameters in coagulation and flocculation processes. The optimization success was determined by tracking the deposition rate of a clearly formed eluting line after addition of a specific volume of coagulant and flocculant, by measuring the percentage of cloud removal, by determining the mass of the dry precipitate, and by spectrophotometric determination of the residual copper concentration. The results obtained show that there is an optimum volume of coagulant and flocculants that lead to the best removal of copper from synthetic wastewaters. Method JAR test was conducted laboratory testing optimal conditions that will lead to the best results in the treatment of wastewater. The fastest precipitation of copper occurs by addition of 1,12 mL of sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate coagulant. Said coagulant is obtained by faster removal of copper if it is combined with poly(aluminum chloride). The optimum volume of poly(aluminum chloride) was 2,50 mL. In the experimental part of the study it was noted that polyacrylamide as a flocculant does not result in efficient deposition of copper ions. Compared to the influence of poly(aluminum chloride) and polyacrylamide chemicals on the deposition rate of suspended particles or copper ions, it was concluded that poly(aluminum chloride) in combination with sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate leads to faster copper removal. Optimal dosage of the coagulant and flocculant depend on other parameters such as pH of the waste water, initial concentration of copper ions and others
