In order to understand the capacity of water vapor to transport copper and its mechanism, using the solubility method, the solubility of copper in undersaturated water vapor was investigated experimentally at temperatures from 310 ℃ to 350 ℃ and pressures from 42×105 to 100×105 Pa. Results of these experiments show that the presence of water vapor increases the concentration of Cu in the gas. At a constant temperature, the solubility of copper increases with increasing water vapor pressure. Copper may exist as hydrated gaseous particles in the vapor phase, and the dissolution process can be described by the following reaction: CuCl
