| PLATING * MACHINING * PRINTING
Recover Dragout Chrome Plating Remove Water from ANY Waste Water Solution. If a bath can be air agitated without causing excessive foam, it should be well suited to this method of recovery. High cyanide baths and still nickels are examples of solutions that should be tested for foaming. A sample can be shaken in a glass jar to see if the foam disappears quickly. Evaporation eliminates water and leaves all the plating chemicals (and tap water impurities) in the process tank. If your bath is not continuously filtered (as are some bright nickels), you may want to consider using D.I. or R.O. water in the rinsing chain. |
| HOW MUCH
RINSE WATER DO YOU NEED? Counterflow rinsing reduces rinse-flow requirements making dragout recovery practical and inexpensive. The table indicates the water needed to produce a 5,000:1 ratio using most plating solutions, or 20,000;1 using chromic acid. |
