Title: State of the
art water treatment for industrial plating facilities
Coordinator(s): M.
De Vogelaere
Completion Date: 2000
- project terminated
Objective:
The possible waste streams in a complex plating shop are numerous
and difficult to treat. Each stream needs its own recycling process,
after which the reduced residual contamination is treated in a central
waste-water plant. All of these recycling processes are based on electrochemical
and/or physical techniques, which can be divided into processes with
metal recovery and techniques with the return of concentrated process
solutions to the front end of the process. Each technology will generate
some form of waste with its own disposal problems and requirements.
To assist the metal finisher to find the appropriate waste treatment
system for a particular situation, it is important to evaluate the
technologies with their benefits and their application possibilities.
Progress:
Draft is being finalized for internal evaluation by the Comimission
