The major working parameters for the electrodialyzer with our selected membranes such as voltage, current and the flow rate of spent EN bath and condensed solution were optimized. Under the optimum operating conditions, spent EN bath could be effectively purified. And then the purified solution was replenished and reused for EN plating. The life of the EN bath was prolonged for more than 17 metal turnovers (M.T.Os). It showed that the electrodialysis method was one of the most effective means for purification and regeneration of spent EN plating baths and for saving resources and reducing waste.展开更多

An electrolytic cell was composed of a porous nickel foam cathode and an inert RuO 2/Ti anode. Nickel ions were reduced and deposited on the surface of the nickel foam cathode. The effect of current density (i), linear velocity of wastewater(v), gap between cathode and anode(d C/A) and reaction time(t) on nickel removal rate and current efficiency were studied. As reaction time prolonged, nickel removal rate increased while current efficiency decreased. And larger v and smaller d C/A can enhance nickel removal rate and increase current efficiency by promoting mass transfer and dropping concentration polarization. The effect of current density on nickel removal by electrochemistry was related to other parameters. After three hours’ electrolysis with i=1 0 A/dm2, v=18 5 cm/min and d C/A=0 5 cm, nickel removal rate and current efficiency reached 85 6% and 29 1%, respectively.展开更多

It not only wastes resource but also causes environmental pollution if the wastewater is discharged without treatment. In this paper, electrolytic method and reduction method for treating spent electroless nickel plating bath were compared. The factors studied included reaction time, pH, temperature, effectiveness and cost. It was found that the recovery rate of nickel by reduction was 99.9% under the condition ofpH 6, 50℃ for 10 min. The purity of reclaimed nickel was 66.1%. This treatment needed about 16 g NaBH4 for a liter spent solution, which cost RMB 64 Yuan. For electrolysis method, with pH 7.6, 80℃, 0.45 A （current intensity） for 2 h, the recovery rate reached 97.3%. The purity was 88.5% for the reclaimed nickel. Moreover, it was found that through electrolysis, the value of TOC （Total Organic Carbon） decreased from 114 to 3.08 g·L^-1 with removal rate of 97.3%. The main cost of electrolysis came from electric energy. It cost about 0.09 kWh （less than RMB 0.1 Yuan） per liter wastewater. Compared with reduction, electrolysis had more advantages, so the priority of selection should be given to the electrolysis method for the treatment of spent electroless nickel plating bath.展开更多
