Electrochemical treatment of spent electroless nickel solution

Electroless nickel (EN) coatings are widely used in the manufacture of automotive parts, providing uniform coating, corrosion protection, wear resistance and lubrication contrast to EN plating benefits, the disposal and treatment of waste solutions can cause many difficulties. The use of electrochemical treatment technology greatly improves the operation; the main wastewater treatment,cess and reduces operation A new, state-of-the-art, jobshop in the Chicago area that provides EN plating for the automotive industry has installed a large separated electrolytic cell for the treatment of spent EN solution (from dumps and wastewater). The wastewater is handled by the seperated electrolytic cell, batch treatment system, filter press and neutralization station. The implementation of modern electrolytic technology and auxilliary equipment provides an effective waste treatment process that meets environmental compliance criteria.
