Prospects of the еlectrochemical methods application for regeneration of electroplating technological solutions

Abstract

Electrochemical methods of regeneration of electroplating waste have significant prospects due to their efficiency, environmental friendliness and economic feasibility. Such methods as electrolysis, electrodialysis and electroflotocoagulation are widely used for the regeneration of non-ferrous metals from spent electrolytes and wastewater; for obtaining solutions of acids and alkalis from wastewater and solutions of neutral salts. The constant development of electrochemical technologies, the use of new electrode materials and the modernization of electrolytes allow to increase the efficiency of regeneration processes and make them more accessible for industrial use.
