The discharge of untreated electroplating wastewater could lead to the formation toxic metal-organic complexes that is harmful for environment. There are several processes reported treat such as chemical precipitation, adsorption, coagulation and flocculation, ion exchange, electrocoagulation, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation process biorecovery. These methods provide possibility capture...

Microorganisms play a vital role in heavy metal contaminated soil and wastewater by the mechanisms of biosorption. In this study, heavy metal resistant bacteria were isolated from the effluent samples of an electroplating industry and the biosorption of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). These isolates were characterized to evaluate their applicability for heavy metal removal from industr...

This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity of six electroplating metals on the H(2)-producing activity of a granular sludge sampled from an H(2)-producing upflow reactor treating sucrose-containing wastewater. The H(2) production activities of the sludge were measured in serum vials using wastewater containing not just sucrose and proper nutrient, but also individual heavy metals at c...

Abstract Wastewater containing cobalt and copper comprised of plating wash water, plant equipment cooling water is generated in the electroplating industry. These metals can be detrimental to humans, animals, plants, environment. Thus, it necessary treat wastewater remove these toxic metals. Carbonate hydroxide precipitation were utilized for removal Co (II) Cu from synthetic by jar tests this ...

the main aim of this research is to determine optimal leaching conditions; eh, ph and complexing agent concentrations, for recovery of copper from hydroxide sludges such as those produced by electroplating shops, metal finishers, treatment of acid mine drainage, and industrial wastewater in general. this has been preceded by a theoretical approach and numerical and computer calculation. potenti...
