Abstract
Full scale in-plant production studies demonstrated the reliability and economics of electrolytic cells containing beds of conductive particles between cathodes and anodes for reduction of hexavalent chromium and oxidation of cyanide in plating rinse water. The heavy metals are subsequently removed from the waste water by alkali precipitation. Seventy-five liter/min. (20 GPM) sized cells were employed for chromium and cyanide rinses. Chromium concentrations to 250 mg/liter and cyanide concentrations to 150 mg/liter were processed. Data were obtained with parallel equipment using chemical treatment for cost comparison. Waste treatment costs, capital and operating, for the job shop are provided with an assessment of total costs on the price of services provided. Water conservation techniques are described. Experiences with tube settling equipment for removal of suspended solids and centrifuge for sludge concentration is provided.
